Dr. 3. Additionally, if you can give any indication to where you saw may access the ridge line up there, I don't know if there's an access point,
00:11
or if they're going to need to hike up from the front side here.
00:21
24 Sam, 24 Sam for a flare off of womency.
00:31
Go ahead for 32 Sam.
00:35
32 SAM I have RPA on the line.
00:37
They're in their residence and they saw a vessel about a mile off of their location. They're just south of Wind and Sea.
00:45
And the vessel was flashing a blue strobe and then set off a flare.
00:53
I'd like you to probably deploy the next group from right underneath the helicopter here along the road and they'll make this switchback road straight up towards where the victims are.
01:02
And there's a possibility that TRT will be able to make access kind of from a side approach or even from below these guys. I'm still trying to determine if it's, if they're stable enough on their rope system for us to get into a hover over the top of them. So we're still working through that.
01:19
But again, I send your cruiser.
01:22
three-quarters of the way up, have them continue all the way to the top. Next group should probably come up on a course directly under the helicopter here.
01:34
Not a good three-can-you-all line, Lenny.
01:42
Hey from, is there a phone number we can contact you on?
01:46
And then 32 Sam, I have an address for the residents when you're ready.
01:54
Copy, go ahead.

of the rope systems and then you're recommending a second ground crew access climbers loop from the other trailhead and end up underneath Cockthrough 3.
02:27
I would continue the original rescue group that you guys have going up that way.
02:32
Not certain that they're going to be able to make access there without several hundred feet of rope, but based on their current location, that's going to give you contact access.
02:41
Yes, the second rescue group would come from this other engine that you just bought it forward just below climbers loop.
02:48
I would have them continue all the way up through the sign and the trailhead. That's where they're going to start their way up climbers loop.
02:57
The Nets Engine 31 below you,
03:01
and they were attempting to get some light on the cliff's face, let us know if that's going to be a deterrent to your night goggles or visual up there.
