We're going to lose our ambulance. We're going to have one transported to the hospital, so we're going to need another ambulance here.
00:10
We are able to assist if required.
00:19
As if that's all, we would probably be at the hospital by the time they are pulled in order.
00:29
Yeah, it looks like there's still towing that boat in, so you might have a little delay.
00:34
And transport one's just coming out of the takeout point now.
00:42
And then what we're going to do is,
00:44
we're working on another ambulance now.
00:52
That's correct. He's going to run along the pier.
00:57
Copy.
01:00
But he should be clear for us to start. He's supposed to be tight against small.
01:04
Yeah,
01:06
let me check on that before you give a green light on that, Deco, because he's got that spectator buoy there that he's going to have to navigate around.
01:15
That's fine, and are you good with starting the race and at the end of the line or if you want them on station?
01:21
The ambulance needs to get on station or at least have EMS at the takeout point.
01:28
They can have another unit,
01:30
even a ALS unit there.

D5. All right.

We just had a call from Race Control Advising that you'd a second ambulance with the Coastcar Station. Can you just confirm?
01:50
Yeah,
01:52
we're here right now. You can send them over. Just advise what it is.
01:57
Copy. They just advised that one of the drivers that we flipped over in the boat was being transported by our rescue and they needed a second ambulance to transport the second driver.
02:08
Rescue 5 has the patient with the ankle injury.
02:13
They just left the doc. They stated that he's going to jump back in the race unless something changes.

They already left. There's no second patient at this time unless you stayed otherwise.

Copy.
