I believe so.
03:53
Have you wanted to the park yet? Are you still responding?
03:57
We are in the park.
03:59
We're just stages of the visitor center,
04:01
waiting for some of this location in photo unfold.
04:03
And I've got 81 just up the road.
04:05
We'll head in and we'll commit to the lower picnic area and advisor.
04:15
Okay, if you may stage the rescues at a location, so that way they're not traveling around with you guys, they can just make sure that where the location is and then have them come in.
04:31
Copy that.
04:33
Yes,
04:36
that's.
04:38
Go ahead.
04:42
Holland Party just advised they're going to be at the intersection of the Blue Buff and Sabino Lakes Trail.
04:57
The Royal Metro Fire Department, Battalion Chief, DC-71, PCSO Search and Rescue.
05:17
Yeah, we're still trying to figure out exactly where these people are at.
05:22
We don't even think they're on the trailhead.
05:24
They're between the visitor's center and possibly the dam.
05:29
There's supposedly the lower Savino picnic area where the picnic tables are.
05:33
Apparently three patients.
05:35
Are you getting the same information, Morgan?
05:40
You know, three patients, heat exhaustion, where they're plotting is just north of the dam at the Sabino Lake.
05:48
So if you take the roundabout way past the bathrooms instead of going to bear, and then there's a lollipop you can park there and we can drive our other trucks back a little bit further to go.
06:02
Okay, affirmative.
06:03
We've got the engine 73 is going to be entering the park here in a second, and we have two rescues also responding.
06:13
So we'll get, they're going to head to that location and see if they can locate the victims.
06:21
I can't forget company.
06:22
You also have one of our SAR units.
06:23
We're getting pretty close to the other two lists.
06:25
Aren't too far away?
06:31
And I can probably hold back to go south if she chooses that way.
06:42
Yeah, coming out of that circle K, I think the only way she really can go is going to be either to jump on the light to go eastbound tank of Ernie or to go south on a Walmart.
07:01
plans to deploy.
07:09
All right. We're there in just a moment off by Cheryl.
07:17
1503. 5703.
07:20
57053. Just come with us then so we can detain this group.
07:30
Are you guys still staged at the intersection of the main road and this side road?
07:37
Affirmative, would you like us to move to the roundabout just east of the LZ?
07:45
That's primitive north of your location, you'll head east,
07:49
and we're actually going to stage 879 where you are when they arrive.
07:55
Okay, one copies.
07:59
879 from 7.3.
08:02
Go for 879.
08:04
Are you familiar with the back gate interest to the Sabino Recreation Area?
08:11
That's affirmative.
08:14
If you guys can head in there, proceed up to the main tram road, and just stage there for a moment.
08:21
We're going to try and scoop folks and bring them to you, or we'll call you in once we get our eyeball on them.
08:32
899 copies.
08:33
We'll stage.
08:35
There is easy, we can take two patients as well.
08:41

08:42
This may I change in 73.
08:47

08:50

09:03
And I'll advise further shortly.
