Rescuers favor helicopter hoist for stable patient on trail

Heard on: Cache County Public Safety

01:43

00:00

Squad 300 and Delta 327 arriving on scene.

00:09

70 from medic 70, we are three.

00:23

We have made contact with the patient.

00:25

He is oriented on four, GCS 15 , stable.

00:30

The terrain here is going to be very difficult to get him down without him being ambulatory.

00:34

So I think the helicopter is going to be the best option.

00:36

His main concern is billing.

00:39

Do we know if Life Flight hoisted him down with no transport to the hospital? Do we know for sure one way or the other about billing?

00:47

Copy using the hoist for getting them down.

00:50

Stand by.

00:56

Yeah, we can't guarantee anything with billing, but the helicopter can pick him up and probably drop him off right here by our vehicle if he doesn't want to go to the hospital by helicopter.

01:13

The other thing is we can set up ropes up there.

01:16

And bring them down with the rope system, but it's going to take a while.

01:25

70 Rescue 71, copy traffic.

01:27

I think right now the helicopter with the hoist is going to be the best option.

01:33

Copy.

01:34

They're expected to be in the area around 330.

01:41

That's for you, (name withheld). Rescue 70, en route to Logan Regional.
