00:04
DS Road. I'm checking here.
00:06
What's the property owner?
00:10
2220 Lawrence, it is (number withheld) DS Road.
00:16
And there's a Y right past his residence and you take the left Y,
00:23
right next to John Deere Old Skidmore.
00:27
Take a right into his property and then take a left at the skid loader.
00:32
Lawrence, you're on scene.
00:34
We keep updating staging.
00:35
Do you want us to go there then?
00:37
I am uncertain.
00:39
I don't know if I'm going to try to explore it real quick.
00:41
Copy. We're going to stick with Little Dolores for now and unload as we know access is guaranteed that way.
00:46
I think this is White Rescue 72.
00:50
The way I'm at.
00:51
I'll let you know.
00:53
He's got the gate open for us.
00:56
H3 Lawrence, just a radio check here.
00:59
Unportable.
01:00
RG Lawrence.
01:02
Lawrence, go ahead.
01:05
Scene is obviously about 300 yards west of my vehicle.
01:10
Helicopter's on scene.
01:13
Looks like I got a backboard and I got a couple of.
01:17
. . Not sure the status of the patient.
01:22
I. . . Didn't quite catch the last.
01:25
Do you want us to continue in or do you think there's enough vehicles to transport the two patients that Careflight won't have out?
01:31
I'm gonna check right now.
01:34
About a minute.
01:35
We'll go ahead and start unloading.
01:37
Copy, we're about 3 min out.
01:40
Ops, call them.
01:41
Go ahead.
01:46
Is staging on Little Dolores or DS Road?
01:50
Sounds like we're moving to DS Road right now.
01:53
Okay.
01:55
Hey (name withheld), this is Mission Coordinator on Mesa Star.
01:58
Lawrence, this is Mission Coordinator on Mesa Star.
02:03
Negative contact, 1047.
02:07
Engels, Lawrence.
02:09
Go ahead.
02:10
Yeah, let's have you guys AC in.
02:13
They do have two ambulances in here plus a helicopter.
02:15
However,
02:17
there is a very, very muddy road and we only have one of these is a two-wheel drive ambulance.
02:22
I'm not sure they're going to be able to get out within a reasonable amount of time, so we may have to transport.
02:26
Copy, we're making access up DS Road through the private property and then going to head up the road that we saw you on.
02:32
Break.
02:33
We just arrived.
02:34
We're going to be offloading the UTV now.
02:36
Okay, so at this point,
02:38
the ATVs. You guys are contingency in case the ambulances cannot make it out, which I think is a reasonable likelihood.
02:46
Copy. As we're on scene, we're switching comms to Tac One.
02:52
Copy, sounds good.
