Hey, friends,
01:06
I'll be able to even in the truck.
01:11
If you can get your vehicle off the side of the road enough, um,
01:16
so we don't block ourselves, that would be good, but I'm not seeing that happening right now.
01:27
I see, Velskis.
01:30
Go ahead.
01:33
If the patient's stable, you can try to transfer her to Otter Cliffs Road, try to meet the apparatus there, keep that open.

Hey,

I've got the ambulance at the entrance station.
02:35
Do you still want them to come through to you via Ocean Drive, or should they be meeting you closer to Fabri or Ottercliffe?
02:45
No latter for debris or Ottercliffe.
02:48
That's going to be impossible for them to get the ocean.
02:53
Yeah, good copy.

Fabri or Otter Cliff will head in that direction.

Ten, four, thanks.

Break 204. The ambulance just turned around, they're going to access the patient via Fabri, so they're going to meet you guys at Fabri, if that works on your end.
