Current decision ambulatory patient will walk out and assess medical necessity beyond that point if it develops, otherwise helicopters stand down due to risk assessment.
00:14
Is that correct?
00:24
Copy, Russet, I see, do you copy that?
00:27

00:34
Ten for.

It sounds like the Maine Forest Service Ranger is going to continue hiking down, and if somebody can shuttle her back to the LZ, they'll be standing by for her.
01:06
Yeah, 10-4[1].
01:07
She coming down the precipice, or is she going to stay on Northridge?
01:17
Or make that orange and black.
01:19
I'm assuming she's down by the patient area.
01:22
Is she going down orange and black or is she going down Prestis?
01:27
The faster route, it would be great to have somebody coordinate that who's on trail with her.
01:34
This is Peterson.
01:36
We'll probably do Precipice.
01:39
High copy, down hike to precipice.
01:43
I could copy Hiking Precipice.
01:46
Do you have anybody hiking down with her that could get that transport for her? There's two of us here.
01:54
Either one can give her a ride.
01:57
Yeah, for a good copy.
02:02
Speeders your vehicle at the precipice already.
02:07
Pete?
02:10
Is your vehicle at the precipice parking lot?
02:17
Copying.
02:20
Peterson, do you have a vehicle at precipice parking lot?
02:25
We are at the North Ridge, actually.
02:30
Copy. Just advise when you're getting to the parking lot, break.
02:34
Ops, you're going to have to have somebody pick her up.
02:37
We'll do, thank you.
02:40
Yeah, ops I copy.
02:42
I know there was multiple vehicles that headed down that direction.
02:46
Is there somebody available that could walk down with her that has a vehicle option?
03:02
Peterson,
03:03
Ops, did you copy that last?
03:10
Ops, Rossett.
03:15
Ops, good.
03:18
The crew here is fine, I'm going to break free and just go meet her at the Precipice Parking Lot and bring her back.
03:29
Yeah, I copy.
03:30
If you're all set there, that makes sense.
03:33
We're a little bit low on vehicles here.
03:36
Copy, I'll start by over there.
03:38
Frank Peterson, you copy direct.
03:41
Copy.
03:48

03:56
Yeah, just making sure I'm thinking the same way you are.
04:01
