So right now, fire resources, we need one first responder at the LV.
00:06
In case we go that route, we need one first responder with the cliff team up top, and then all we need is the ambulance at the base of the Black Hole Road. In case we do a lower, we'll do a beach transfer down.
00:27
This has copy. We'll get that going on.
00:53
Does it look like it would be better for us to go around from the south of the Saddleback corner?
01:03
They're directly below the Saddleback,
01:07
so they're right in the center of it.
01:09
You're directly over them now, whoever's the red shorts are up there.
01:17
And three ones down on team, we can establish battle command.
01:27
3110, you get with the truck right here.

02:20
and engine 52 captain will be medical group too.
02:27
Just as copy off.
02:34
Engine 52 from IC[2] and we are a good corner mile north of the glider port and we have an open gate you'll see about almost to the Indian Canyon Trail.
02:57
IC[2] Engine 52 copies.
02:59
We do have Medic 21 staged at the bottom of Black Gold Road currently.
03:04
Copy.
03:10
I see you from Medic 20. I see you from Medic 20.
03:14
I see.
03:23
I see prophetic 20. We're the second ALS[3] responding.
03:27
Our notes say the glider port in the grass area. Is that the area where they launch off near the cafe?
03:35
A firm, 920, but we're about a quarter mile north of that, so you're going to pass a lighter port and go another quarter mile. You'll see an open fence on the west side of the parking lot, almost toward the end of the parking lot, Indian Canyon Trail, and you'll see three lifeguard units.
04:01
I think from 36X, I won the scene with the patient,
04:07
and sounds like he's ANO times four right now.
04:12
She was very disoriented for a bit after the crash, according to the witness.
04:19
And he landed on his back, has soreness on his back, but no tingling or numbness.
04:26
And he did fall from a considerable height, however, they're saying it wasn't the complete free fall.
04:37
Copy, we'll consider it major trauma criteria until we get a MAC down there to advise.
04:46
And with that, we're going to do in-mind stabilization.
04:57
36th copy.
05:00
I had to avail my trauma bag to get up in a section,
05:05
but I'll hold in line, and we're directly under, so I'd say go around north or south by the left to get to us, just for the Rockfall.
05:21
Copy that.
05:33
Go ahead.
05:38
Plan A is to send a litter team down rescue team.
05:43
There's going to be two with the patient once the second gets there.
05:49
And then plan A is going to be to utilize the helo to hoist.
05:55
from their location if the Heelo is able to do it.
06:07
So Plan A is to Helo out,
06:11
or can you repeat what your Plan A was again?
06:19
Copy plan A is to send a rescue team over on a twin line system to stabilize the patient, put them on a backboard for a helo to insert their HRM and then do a hoist.
06:33
If you can please ensure that that second first responder is going to the LZ[1] set up and set it up behind the glider port.
