01:50
Can handle.
01:55
Copy the SOTA, too.
01:56
Tiltra units, confirming you checked on scene for the wreck at the 166.
02:03
P5, now I'll be there and get this second trying to get the truck.
02:05
Copy, okay.
02:06
204 let me know if you need me.
02:09
Got it. If you haven't committed back this way, you can just stand my, we are a complete stance, so I don't know if I'm going to get down here.
02:20
Going past the ones.
02:21
All right, I'm like to go down.
02:25
If you want to stand line to work...
02:27
I'll probably do something.
02:28
All right, simple.
02:29
Go ahead. Just confirming with you, are you in route to the 166 now?
02:35
Temple. Copy direct.
02:37
Is the 170 clear from both fire and EMS then?
02:40
Yeah, ten-four.
02:41
Both subjects left the same.
02:42
Copy direct. 233 from 381 you want to go back to the station for the charge of our response?

02:48
Copy. BOS 302 in 204.
02:50
Okay. Okay.
02:51
BOS 32 from 204.
02:54
Go ahead. We're coming one patient, one vehicle, direct?
02:56
We've got three vehicles involved, but we do, we are only one patient and everybody else is refusing care.
03:03
What ALS is coming to you? They're coming from Hillboro.
03:05
You called Beridoff going down to 1-70 and taking down there and meet them there so we can go down on number 10.
03:09
We don't have another, we don't have an ALS unit, we canceled the ALS unit, we're going to handle this patient.
03:16
Happy, communication 234.
03:18
234.
03:19
Also, it appears to be Highway Patrol and EMF 204, we sell us in command.
03:24
We do have the highway pretty much shut down.
03:25
We have a shoulder kind of open this time.
03:27
All right's further.
03:28
Establishing command, highway shutdown.
03:29
234 is all the same as well.
03:32
Got me, 234, 17-3.
03:34
Well, if you can send me to the cone trailer, there's an Amazon truck phone side, I'm not sure how quickly we can get it up.
03:39
If they hear you send, I'll let you know.
03:40
Or just a whale boarding about 30 cones.
03:42
You advise you need 30 cones?
03:44
Yeah, about 30 cones.
03:45
The problem is I got the part of it on the west side and it's on the right side of the shoulder.
03:49
So I'm kind of found between two vehicles.
03:52
It's going to be a bit with the Amazon truck.
03:53
It's on the side.
03:54
Front end is gone from us.
03:55
Go on. I'm in right.
