East Idaho Springs Road, getting a report of a female that fell from the zip line fell about 80 feet, unknown consciousness.
01:23
They are reporting she's breathing.
01:28
Thank you, just let me know.
01:34
Just to be clear, so it's not the zip lines off of 103, it's actually up in the campground area.
01:45
Captain 2 in route, I will be delayed from Georgetown.
01:50
Captain 2 delayed from Georgetown at 1500.
01:59
Just gone, I'm a medic to.
02:01
Medic 2.
02:05
We're at the area at the address off of 103.
02:11
Is this the correct place or are we supposed to be off of Idaho Springs Road?
02:17
Just that's location was off of Idaho Springs Road.
02:20
However, I'm trying to confirm exactly where the patient is.
02:23
Jamie Reynolds get back to.

R-22.
02:33
Yeah, just confirmed, did you let fire know that they need to come in the opposite direction of the Quebec Off-Ramp? That paper.
02:45
Okay.
02:47
Okay.
02:54
I'm up on top of the campground area and there is currently no one up here camping, no vehicles, nothing.
03:01
So it's got to be up by the flagpole on top of the water wheel or accessible from 103.
03:11
To find a patient, we do have law enforcement in the area as well, and I'll tell you on seeing, standby for hospitals.
03:20
But it does look like a rapid SOS that they're going to be just northeast of the rafting outpost off of 103.
03:32
Jessica Maddo.
03:35
Go ahead.
03:39
We have eyes on the station.
03:40
She is on the cliffside.
03:42
She doesn't appear to be moving or responding to anybody.
03:46
We will probably need you to dispatch Alpine Rescue for a high-angle rescue.
03:53
I copy me on the 1511.
03:59
On Command 5, that one, Zebra 1.
04:08
Go ahead.
04:10
Can you confirm your current location so I can update the call here?
04:17
Okay.
04:19
I just double check with Denver again to make sure fire was en route emergent for that, and they said that they are.
04:28
Yeah, they're coming the wrong way.
04:29
We're trying to flush traffic out to getting through.
04:34
Okay, they were advised at 1505 to come up to Quebec off-ramp.
04:43
I'm staying at 1512.
04:49
Captain 2, copy, break.
04:53
Engine 21, do you have somebody that can split off and go get rescued too?
05:01
Yes, we'll just bring it.
05:08
Jeffcom. I'll find 601 on C3SR.
05:18
Fire confirmed they're going to be off of 103 at the outpost.
05:24
They have eyes on the patient.
05:25
She's going to be on the cliffside not moving and they're getting outside inserted for high angle.
05:32
I don't want copy.
05:33
We're almost there.

05:40
Right now.
05:44
Hey, my apologies, but let me try and re-send that out.
05:47
We do have a high angle rescue that we'll need to respond out on with Idaho, excuse me, with Clear Creek Fire.
05:54
Johnson, thank you.
05:57
You're welcome.
06:03
She's coming around at 1513.
06:08
To the Rangers with the missing hikers, uh, where you do that?
06:14
We're posted right up on top in the big parking, not that one.
06:18
I see you pulled that one, we're at the big one up top.
06:23
Okay.
06:26
Okay. Okay, 1514.
06:33
Okay. Okay.
06:34
Okay. Okay. One minute two.
06:36
One of two.
06:42
We'll be following one of the guides on a road to the top to the repelling area.
06:49
I'll have a guide wait down here for other incoming units.
06:56
I have the idea.
06:58
I do have that applying page out.
07:00
If you can just advise on the distance that the repel will be once you have a chance.
07:07
Copy, I'll put your note when I know.
07:10

Sounds like this will be a repel rescue and I will provide you with more once I get more.
