From a second party report, it sounds like that, female is pretty stable. She was smiling.
00:10
Okay, thank you. We'll be there in about 30 seconds.
00:15
Copy.
00:19
Liddy, Alaswan.
00:22
Liddy, go ahead.
00:24
Hey,
00:26
I've got the ambulance at the entrance station.
00:28
Do you still want them to come through to you via Ocean Drive, or should they be meeting you closer to Fabri or Ottercliffe?
00:38
No latter for debris or Ottercliffe.
00:42
That's going to be impossible for them to get the ocean.
00:46
Yeah, good copy.
00:48
Fabri or Otter Cliff will head in that direction.
00:53
Ten, four, thanks.
01:00
I have a rescue to from a kidia dispatch on catalog computer.
01:22
Zero one on Italy.
01:26
Do you want that message about the ambulance not accessing ocean drives due to traffic sent out as well?
01:34
Yeah, I believe they're out with 204 at the entrance station. He's going to direct them in the right location.
01:45
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.
02:03
Dispatch 245, on scene, break.
02:10
Dispatch.
02:12
I'm on scene with a 65-6-5-year-old female, alert-oriented times four.
02:18
How old are you? Sorry, standby.
02:22
6060.
02:23
She took a head first fall onto the rocks.
02:33
Copy, I've got you on scene.
02:39
dispatch, I see, I'm on the scene as well.
02:45
Copy, I see, I'm back you on scene.
02:51
I see Ossima.
02:54
I see, go ahead.
02:58
I'm just confirming,
03:01
will you guys be able to transport that patient to Fabri,
03:07
or should we look at closing down or clearing up the road from Fabri back to Thunder Hole?
03:17
9 by 1.
03:20
Allison, I see.
03:27
Allison, go ahead. We're going to need the ambulance to meet us down here.
03:36
I've probably got a possible spinal.
03:42
Good copy.
03:44
Are you,
03:45
or is the,
03:48
against the one way, is it clear for them to access from Ottercliffe Road to go to your location?
04:01
That was my honesty.
04:04
I believe so. So I can go up to Ottercliffe Road and escort the ambulance to Thunderhole.
04:11
We're not going to be able to take her from Thunderhole to February.
04:19
Awesome, that's a good copy.
04:21
I'm going to meet you over at Fabri. I'll keep everything closed here.
04:27
And, yeah, if you could just make sure that that lane is open for them to be able to work their way back and escort them back. That'd be great.
04:37
I copy.
04:44
That was noisy.
04:47
Go ahead.
04:50
I'm going to close the lane off here at Thunderhole.
04:56
It should be pretty clear by the time the ambulance comes around and has to drive the wrong way.
05:01
10-4[1]. I'm keeping everything closed here and just escorting people out of the park if needed.
05:12
