St. Louis Ely 3.
00:02
Good. We're en route to the LV.
00:04
1459.
00:05
7306 all responding units on Common 1, going to the Boundary Waters.
00:09
I got a message from the patient,
00:10
possibly dislocated knee.
00:12
The injury is at the knee.
00:14
Uh, two down, thank close.
00:19
W2 down, same close.
00:22
(number withheld). (number withheld).
00:23
Door.
00:24
400 J. Louis, any message?
00:26
Do you, Lord. Have you advised the mock of this?
00:28
That's affirmative.
00:29
It just got off the phone, it indeed.
00:30
Of course, thank you.
00:31
Count Six? O-Life-6?
00:32
Roger, six on to go, three, soles on-on-for-2-2-0-2-0 and approved.
00:36
And I should be about 25 minutes to get up towards Neely, and we'll get a coordinate from me here in a minute.
00:43
W6 has you lived in three souls tours, 20 minutes on the fuel, about 25 minutes up there, and let us know when you're ready for Portnance.
00:51
5, 8 minutes, and that's to the scene.
00:54
So based on our speed, we should be able to get to the scene and do the rescue and then get back to Healy, so we should be able to go direct about stopping for fuel.
01:05
By 91155-decimal 57 West.
01:10
Copy 48.02.95 North, 911.5.6.6.6.6.
01:22
That's a good readback. Forest fire trooper seven, do you all copy?
01:25
Yes, how do you copy me on any two?
01:28
I copy a lot, sir.
01:30
Okay, I'm not sure if you got that.
01:31
I was just giving you an update.
01:32
We're 55, 55 minutes, and that is to the scene of the GPS coordinates.
01:38
I just wanted to let you know that time update.
01:40
And we should be able to come right to the scene, do the rescue, and then get back to Ely without, obviously without having to stop there first.
01:48
Just want to give you that update.
01:49
Yeah, we talked to that.
01:51
We do have a lifelink helicopter in route to a staging large helipad up in that area, and we were going to transfer patients up there close to the scene.
02:01
Okay, that works as well.
02:03
Eventually, if I could get the GPS coordinates from that.
02:09
That would help, obviously, for me.
02:11
Or is it relatively close to where the rescue is?
02:13
It's relatively close to where the rescue is.
02:15
It'll be a large helipad right off the Echo Trail, Spring Creek Draw area.
02:19
You guys have used it in the paths with us.
02:21
I can get coordinates really over to you.
02:23
It is 125 miles south, south, west of where you're going to put your next.
02:27
It's right off the main gravel road.
02:29
We'll have you land at the intersection.
02:30
Okay, yeah, that'll work.
02:33
I've got some time to figure that one.
02:34
I hope that will help.
02:35
Thank you. Also, just be advised, we possibly will be out of armor signal service up in that area.
02:41
Just ahead of the, we may have to switch you to a SOA channel or something.
02:45
Okay, yep, that works.
02:47
We have all the SOAs, everything, so we can do that as well.
02:50
We can make that. Todd, do you want to make that plan now just in case we go out of range if we're unable to talk our secondary frequency to be S-O-A-1?
02:57
That sounds good.
02:58
S-O-1 is secondary.
02:59
A two for seven copies.
03:02
We'll stay on to N-E-2, and if there's a clear NORTO, we'll go to S-O-A-1 and can monitor that one as well.
03:11
That sounds good.
03:12
Trooper 7, Morris Foley.
03:15
I have coordinates for the spring quick sounds like them.
03:18
Okay,
03:19
we are ready to copy if you can just slower if you would please.
03:26
Copy that. 8.048978 by negative by negative 91.951 by negative 91.9.9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-6-9-9-6-4-45.
03:46
Okay, copy.
03:47
I'll have the crew member read it back here just a second.
03:51
They're confirming.
03:52
The coordinate readback.
03:54
Forty-eighth point negative.
04:00
9.1.2. 6.4.45.
04:04
104, that's a good copy.
04:05
Thank you. Thank you.
04:08
And most probably one last, then, from Trooper 7.
04:11
Can I enter a little about any reviewers in office here there? That's correct.
04:15
Just the party that went through the end of the department.
04:19
No rescuers are on scene at this time.
04:20
My apologies, you were digitized.
04:22
Could you say again?
04:23
No rescuers were on scene at this time.
04:25
Roger. I copy.
04:26
Thank you. Trooper 7, you copy this radio better.
04:28
There's currently no rescuers on scene.
04:31
Just a party of four people.
04:32
A patient is 70 years of age, 175 pounds.
