Ten-four. I'm going to go to that gate.
00:02
We're able to open it.
00:03
We'll come in and see if we can find a better route for EMS.
00:07
I don't think they're going to get down that two-lane road that we were on easily.
00:15
Stand for.
00:17
Okay,
00:22
see-favor.
00:24
Go ahead.
00:27
Senators, I tell them, think the only way you're going to be able to get in here is either off SH 349 or they go through that gate off of 8,000 and then take a ride.
00:46
Hey, Jay,
00:48
if y'all can make contact with the patient, if he doesn't have any spinal injuries, can he set up in a car?
00:55
I can come and secure his leg and drive him out to him if we need to.
01:13
Yeah, they're saying there's no other way to the site except for, uh, from Midland.
01:22
Okay. Are you able to get to the site?
01:28
Give me just a minute, I've got to jump in.
01:37
MSTU-231, you want us to go to 349?
01:44
See,
01:45
Page, stand by there just for a minute.
01:47
If Jay can get to him and assess that we don't need a spine board,
01:52
I can grab you all and go in with four-wheel drive you all and go in with four-wheel drive and we'll stabilize it and bring you back to the hamlets.
02:01
Two more.
02:07
Yeah. If you can kind of do an assessment and as long as he doesn't have a small winder where he could set up,
02:15
we'll come in with four-wheel drive and try to stabilize it and bring it back to the ambulance.
02:31
Jim,
02:32
see what, we'll just continue with this plan,
02:35
y'all assessing and we'll bring our equipment to you.
02:39
And if Midland gets there before then, then we'll come by through quick minutes.
