Okay, copy that. So in answer to your first question, we have a plastic backboard on site. Second question, we have about 15 people on scene. We have the care flight, flight nurse, and paramedic, as well as Delta County EMS.

We feel comfortable getting the scene secured for half. And we have care flight right here to coordinate the tail-to-tail transfer. That could either happen right down here at the Beaver Pond where our LZ is or we can fly to wherever they want us to fly to. But that should be easy to coordinate. Thank you, Mr.

Do you have a copy? Yes, all I copy. There will be one hiccup, our tariff flight medical team is here with the patient and they are going to have to stay with the patient so they won't be on the helicopter on this particular tar flight helicopter.

So the tail-to-tail transfer may have to be in rifle or somewhere else with a different crew because this helicopter does not have a medical crew on board. Okay, 10 can coordinate with their distance.
01:38
The other question is they need a ride out. They're going to fly out. Chair Flate, medical team will walk out to that other LV and then probably get it right from there.

ETA on pass. I'm working on that now. I will have one shortly. Okay, when you do have that, let us know so that we can get in touch with Air Flight dispatch and hopefully get them working directly together to plan the transfer.
