Yeah, we have I've guys on both sides of the wash.
00:06
Copy that. Truck 8, Italian 3?
00:10
Truck 8.5.
00:13
Come up in your location now. Do you have access to the wash from where you're at?
00:18
We're working on gaining it now. We should have reasonable access from one side. I can't tell if we've got access from both.
00:26
The side, it looks like we have access to the west side.
00:33
Copy that.
00:35
Command between time three.
00:38
Go for command.
00:41
Hey, Cap, I'm just pulling up to where Truck A is right now. I'm going to go ahead and assume command.
00:46
And you say at the North Division up over there, maintaining your designation.
00:52
Any sign of them so far?
00:55
That's affirmative, we just got him out of the water.
00:58
We're going to be approximately, I don't know, 600 yards or so off Nellis.
01:05
He's saying that he's okay, but he did float from somewhere on Desert Inn. He thinks he got in the water.
01:10
He does not think he was with anybody else, but he's not sure.
01:16
All right, copy that.
01:18
We'll just hold all crews at our locations just for a little bit longer.
01:23
Dispatch command.
01:26
Can I, go ahead.
01:30
Transport,
01:31
responding, correct?
01:34
That's permanent, they're in route.
01:40
Engine 621, command.
01:43
Go ahead.
01:46
Where do you want to meet your ambulance?
01:50
Let's have the ambulance go right behind Engine 61. We're going to try to walk this gentleman out of here, but he's pretty out of breath. So we're trying to figure out of get him out of here right now.
02:01
I copy that.
02:02
Dispatch command.
02:05
Somebody, go ahead.
02:07
Engine 61's parked at Spyglass and Nellis, if you could have the ambulance meet him there.
02:13
I copy. I had them staging behind the unit there, so that's where they're going to be going.
02:18
Time of that, thank you.
02:24
Cook 18, Engine 4,
02:27
Battian 13, Battalion 2, and Engine 18 are going to head to Nuff, where the wash goes into the golf course, all other units can return.
02:39
That's Battalion 2.
02:43
See what.
02:47
So we stayed in the right wash for a ways, but it went a different direction, and we got into a different wash.
02:54
So we believe it's the other wash that goes into the golf course over on Nellis, and so we're going to redirect our efforts over there. I've released the other units, but those units I just mentioned will be heading over there, just so you're aware what's going on, but we don't think there's any chance that he hasn't at least got down to the area as swift as water is moving.
03:14
Copy, be advised that
03:21
Maintenance contact for Carson View Apartments, that's the name of the apartment.
03:31
Engine 61, engine 27, battalion 3 are in the same place we're going.
03:36
They're on Pack 7.
03:41
Copy. Dispatch, is that correct?
03:44
Battalion,
03:45
Correction Command, that's what I was trying to tell you.
03:48
Battalion 3 is at Desert End,
03:51
in the Desert End at the Wash. They just pulled somebody out of the wash. I still can't confirm if this is your same patient.
03:58
That is the correct wash. I'll move over to Battalion 7 and talk to the Battalion case.
04:06
Copy. He's on Tack 7.
04:13
I had Rescue 43.
04:18
Can you go ahead and add NAMR unit to the same address? We just had a vehicle pull over with a lady complaining of shortness of breath from test pain.
04:29
He says his name is not J.C.
04:32
He said he thinks he got into water on Boulder Highway somewhere near the desert end.
04:40
Copy. Battalion 3. We got units going over that way. We've been chasing him down, but we lost the correct wash apparently at Eastern.
04:50
And it goes over to where you're at.
04:52
We've been on this other wash that we thought was the Flamingo wash.
04:55
So we've got units heading your way.
04:58
We've got a guy named J.C. that went in at the Virgin Hotel under there.
05:05
continue to be looking, we'll send those units over and we'll take it over from there, but be watching for another person in the water.
05:14
Copy that. You want to maintain commander pass?
05:21
We got units coming over there when we all get there. I'll reassume it and you guys can leave at that point, but I'd just assume you just keep what you're doing right there, even though you've pulled the one guy, just be watching for the other. How about that?
05:37
That'll work. Truck one one line.
05:45
If you're able to pass your patient off to committee unless they need assistance,
05:53
right, and we may have another patient coming down in the water.
05:59
Copy, I'm a medic working with the patient right now. The ambulance is not on the scene.
06:03
I had the rest of my crew with lights checking this water, making sure nobody comes down. But it is raging rapids right here.
06:12
Copy.
06:18
It's going to be in front of Rusty 43 at the moment.
06:21
The license plate is going to be (number withheld).
06:29
Zero D as a dog and nine.
06:33
Such copies in front of our rescue.
06:40
Spassier, T3, can't show us a hospital, please.
06:43
Copy right.
06:49
They're coming up for, Apache.
06:53
Copy, thank you.
06:59
All.
07:01
Copy that. I'm gonna go face to face with engine 61. Looks like we got guys in place. I don't want to move them if we're guys coming down.
07:09
Copy. They did report to me that those, it was not J.C., though.
