I got a prisoner to try to escape on the cops with a broken leg down on the riverbank.
00:05
We're probably a half a mile north of the downtown on riverside.
00:12
There's going to be a pretty easy operation. We're going to try to smokey backuate them out on a coach basket.
00:17
However, we have encountered an enormous amount of bees that basically blocked our escape route.
00:22
Long story short, I'm thinking the best thing to do is going to be to get 33 down there, pluck them off the river.
00:28
and then taken back somewhere else.
00:31
That's bear out in your way and have an ascendant, Boat 3, too.
00:35
Copy.
00:37
Anything else besides Boat 3?
00:41
What was that?
00:44
Do you need any other resources? You want my C-14 really?
00:48
Negative. We were going to be fine until the speed situation cropped up.
00:52
And plus, I think it would be a little bit too treacherous to try to bring this kind of for the Stokes basket now that we're a little deeper into it.
00:59
Mr. Sir, we'll head your way.
01:09

03:18
Hey Mike Watts, you're on the fireground obviously.
03:25
Yeah.
03:28
Did you or district one or anybody, a state's a medic unit, wherever this boat's going?
03:34
No, I'm going to get, we're probably going to take them back to the public landing.
03:39
So, and they're probably going to take all those guys down there, because it's probably, I don't know, if they're going to be able to make, how many people do they need to go down there will just have ended up down there and if they can hike back up, that's cool, but if not we'll have to take them on the boat.
03:59
Head of 23 is down there with the patient, so they're not going to be able to do it.
04:08
Mr. 1, 2, engines, and truck 2.3. We got boat 3 and Zodiak 14 headed to take it in the river.
04:14
You can send a medicate where we think is appropriate.
04:18
Steve, we may have to dispatch another medic, because most of my medic personnel are actually with the patient down at the riverbank, so I'm not going to be able to move it right now.
04:26
That's fair, so we do the buddy kids to go to the river, so public landing? Correct.
04:34
Okay,

05:10
Affirmative.
05:12
That's good.
05:17

A dude's got a broken leg, he was running from the cop.
06:35
We just don't have a good way to get him up from the riverbank, so it's going to be easiest for you guys just to smash him and take him to public landing.
