84, from engine 4, are you up on 1?
00:09
184, what's the best access we've missed it?
00:30
Go ahead, tap.
00:33
We mentioned what's the best access for this?
00:37
For the Light Force, the best access is going to be off Cesar Chavez to access the MTA parking this above ground.
00:45
Right now I'm making my way down to see if there's a different access that we can do on foot.
00:49
But it's going to be off of Cesar Chavez for the truck.
00:55
This is the parking structure for the MTA building.
00:59
Is that what I'm getting?
01:07
That's correct.
01:13
They're saying that the Amtrak side is the best access.
01:17
So go over the Amtrak side.
01:26
Engine 4 from AP4.
01:31
Roger, are you on feet?
01:34
Yeah, right now we're coming up the ramp, like the north entrance, off of Chavez, try to get eyes on the station.
01:43
Roger. So I'm at the bus turnaround.
01:46
When you make your way up here, I think Lightforce can access from either way.
01:51
It just seems like a better shot from the Chavez side.
01:58
Okay.
02:00
Rest U4 was saying they're saying it's better access from the Amtrak side on the opposite side of the turnaround.
02:06
Do you agree or should we come to you at the bus turn?
02:12
No, Rescue 4 is correct.
02:14
That is a better shot.
02:21
Before you got to house force too at BigNiss and Chavez, where do you get?
02:26
Yeah, Cabinjutor, we're trying to get eyes on exactly where the patient.
02:29
AP4 saying the best access for you is going to be off Chavez somewhere.
02:33
I'll get them to kind of guide you in maybe or if you want to stage out at Chavez and BigNiz and I can guide you in once I get eyes on where exactly is the patient.
02:43
All right, copy AAP.
02:46
Is that going to be west of Vignis on Chavez?
02:51
AP4, that's correct, yes.
02:53
So we're at the southern end of the bus turnaround.
02:56
And directly to our west,
02:58
there's a little ramp at the top, and there's NTA, metro trains, they're lined up.
03:04
However, we can access that parking area is the best area for the light.
03:10
Okay, should we enter into the bus turn around then, take a look, and are we able to see the patient from there?
03:17
That's correct.
03:18
If you enter up here, after you bus turn around, you can see the patient.
03:22
It might be a good enough shot for you,
03:24
but yeah, we're up here at the top.
03:27
Okay, we're coming up to take a look right now.
03:29
What's the status of the patient?
03:33
He's stable, he was yelling out that he's in pain, he's on his right lateral, seems to be alert and oriented.
03:43
Okay, and there's no other way to get him out from where he's at other than a litter basket, is that correct?
03:53
I already checked the north side of it and walked it with security and there's no access from the north.
03:58
There may be something that we can access from the other side of the freeway.
04:04
There seems to be some cut-open fencing area.
04:06
However, I can't put eyes on it.
04:09
We're pulling up to you right now.
04:11
We'll take a look and come up with a plan.
