Ty. We have three additional patients,
00:03
bringing the total to seven.
00:04
We do have three ambulances.
00:06
One is unseen.
00:08
Are we going, are you going to require more ambulances?
00:18
My copy of additional patients on that south side.
00:23
Part of media on this north side, we've downgraded to a delay.
00:29
And he's going to be the first one that's going to be transported.
00:35
I copy. You should have Medics 2209 up there.
00:38
Just advise me if you have any updates or any additional needs so we can get some more AMBOs started.
00:47
and engine 2220 lead you as engine 2220.
00:55
Do you guys have an update on your triage?
01:01
That's negative.
01:02
I'm trying to figure out who you guys want me to assess.
01:05
I have the white van and another passenger vehicles downstream.
01:08
Are those the people that you want me to check out?
01:14
If you can do a face-to-face with ladder 209, they might have some better info regarding patients and who all was involved.
01:27
My doctor office.
01:30
Medic 220 to command, we're approaching from the east road.
01:36
I copy Medic 222220.
01:39
If you guys want to call into the scene downstream of the accident, it looks like there's some room next to Medic 2209.
01:47
You can coordinate the treatment.
01:52
Safety QO2 to command.
01:57
Command to all units on scene.
02:00
There has been a breach in the traffic barrier.
02:03
There are cars trying to access through the scene.
02:07
Just be aware it looks like DPS[1] is working on stopping them.
02:14
Sayy to the command.
02:16
D.C. Go ahead.
02:19
DPS[1] is going to allow traffic for these two lanes.
02:21
I would suggest re-designating engine 2220 as a separate treatment sector.
02:26
And then if they need an ammo, have them staged in front of engine 2220.
02:33
I copy.
02:37
Command to engine 2220.
02:39
The engine 2220.
02:43
A second 220, go ahead.
02:47
I'm going to designate you Treatment East, North.
02:51
North.
02:54
Treatment North, correction.
02:56
If you guys have a need for an ambulance,
02:59
please let me know so I can get one over to you guys.
03:05
Engine 20-20 copies,
03:07
Treatment North.
03:09
We'll block some traffic downstream, set up a safe area that pre-prepared to treat patients.
03:20
Treatment engine 205 to command.
03:26
So the original media that we have downgraded to delayed, we're transported right now.
03:31
I'm at 20209, 65-year-olds, female.
03:35
And then I need another two AMBOs total on this side that patients want to be transported.
03:42
And I did just do a face-to-face with bladder 209.
03:45
And one patient that is now under treatment north is requesting transport.
03:53
I copy.
03:54
So your immediate that was downgraded is going to be transported via Medic 2209.
04:00
You need two additional ambulances, and it sounds like we're going to need an additional ambulance for treatment north.
04:10
That's correct.
04:16
60, command of alarm.
04:20
60 command, go ahead.
04:21
The command.
04:24
Let's balance this to a first alarm.
04:27
Ensure that I have a total of six ambulances responding.
04:32
Alarm coffee is balancing to a first alarm.

07:01
I made face to face with 2220.
07:04
They've taken both of the patients.
07:06
One of them is going to need an ambulance, but I believe treatment has already ordered that ambulance.
07:12
I copy.

07:26
Confirming you have a total of two patients,

07:38
So we have a refusal in that gray vehicle.
07:41
We have someone, we have got one patient in this white pan, and then we have another person we're checking out.
07:47
Your total of three.
07:48
Do you want us to take over patient care of this person in the white van?
07:55
That's negative.
07:56
I will assign a crew over here to deal with that.
