If you're not doing anything (name withheld), if you want to go down to Ashley and see what it looks like there, we might be able to force them on to Ashley instead of making the U-turn. Yeah, we're sending somebody down Rutledge real quick to see if we can get them off Rutledge for you. Ashley... Yeah, all right, maybe I'll do that. Because when I'm at right now, they just have to make a U-turn and it's causing a little bit of gridlock, so there's somewhere we could specifically push them too. That would be nice. Better, you want them to turn left on to Ashley? I'd like you to, yes, check the water level out on Ashley and see if we have the ability to push them on Ashley. That's off the office. All right, and I'm being told to supply it. Copy. Might be a waiting game now. I hope that this water recedes soon. Yeah, hopefully we can get Calhoun open as quick as we can. Good as much as we can. Still pretty high over by you guys? Yeah, still like one and a half feet on the flooding marker. So no one really should come through this. And Ogier is still just as bad as it was. Medic 4 relocate to Allendah Station 5 and EMS Mediq 11. Mediq 4 relocate to Allendah Station 5 and EMS Medi 11. Step 1. I got a Kia 225. Don't have a color on it. Format my apology. 10 to 11. I think of those are a red stand in the same by all the other copies. We're on scene 737 King. Medic 12 relocate to EMS Medic 1. Medic 12 relocate to EMS Medic 1. Who is that? That just went by you. Skin, should we come up to you now? Dude, my feet are soaked. Yeah, I just don't know, if this is going to be a long-term thing, we gotta find out a different solution because we gotta find out somewhere to put all these people that are coming off the SC30 connector. Yeah, this is ridiculous. This is ridiculous. Just not C-R-1. C-R-1, go ahead. There’s raining lighting up either. Just so that you're aware, we're going into a modified ops for downtown, due to the severe flooding, we're having problems getting to some of the hospitals. We'll handle it ourselves with the supervisors, but I just want to make sure you guys are as well. aware as well. Just that's happy, thank you. Delta 3, Delta 4. Back. You have the nurse, I have high water, (name withheld), there's a Medshore ambulance from the middle of the patient water that's sick. It's in your phone already out. It's just a minute ago. Chief Catcats, I'll send it again. Uh, no, B is, uh, B is going to be a little bit north of us. Let's see if I can get down one of these side streets here, just try to find that out. Can't go down there. Everything's flooded. There's too much rain too quick. Nothing's going to receive quickly. We've got to wait for some of those rain to slow down at least a little. This is the field. Would you generate a call for the high water vehicle as well for that MedTrust ambulance or Medshore that's flooded up? Road closures, like, I hope they don't end up calling us. We have high water at one of instance of King Street right now. We don't have any incidents of out of mid-choice ambulance. Copy. Delta 3 came across the radio. We were going to call in direct, but can you generate, or Delta 3, can you give dispatch the exact location so we can generate an actual call for that ambulance, let it out with a patient? Yes, sir. I'm working on that now. We've already contacted 35 here. They're on the way. 86, (name withheld). What is this? I didn't just reiterate a call for that 86, (name withheld), for an ambulance flooded out, a private ambulance flooded out with a patient. Probably, thank you. Up before, Advanced 60, I need you to make your way away from Medic 1 and relocate on the other side of town. You have 60 copies. We're en route.
