Okay, there's a representative for Pendaw that should be on scene there.
00:50
He's coordinating the traffic.
00:53
Also,
00:54
I have nothing out of Delano Fire Police set.
00:57
Are you going to be sufficient? Or do you want him hit again?
01:02
I should have 2665 as well as 26 Fire Police at the 134 exit, so it should be sufficient there until PennDOT gets there.
01:11
All right, 1812.
01:18

Okay, in Route, Lovietch, Hazleton at 1814,
01:44
is Luzerne medic 26, they're on the wire, are still going to be needed?
01:50
Negative school, well, I talked to them on Luzerne, and since there's only one patient,
01:55
and they were the only other ALS truck for all the southern Luzern.
01:58
I place them available.
02:02
Okay, 1840.
02:13
Donaldson, QRS,
02:15
23 West Maryland Street, Freely Township, and a conscious person.
02:18
Donaldson, QRS, 23 West Maryland Street, Freddy Township, and conscious person, 18...
02:23
5026, go ahead.
02:24
All right, two things.
02:27
Number one, we do have an EMS request for a patient e-val.
02:31
That's going to be on the original tractor trailer that was involved.
02:35
He's going to be southbound.
02:37
Southbound.
02:42
He's got his four ways on.
02:44
He's complaining of chest pain.
02:47
It sounds like 4901 is tied up with this other patients.
02:50
We may need to start a BLS to check him out.
02:52
That's number one.
02:53
Number two,
02:54
be advised, I have four guys that are going to start working the backlog from this accident and turning cars around and getting them back to the 134.
03:04
Okay, MLS 977 is going to remain on scene.
03:07
Are they anywhere nearby? I'll try and get them on the radio for you.
03:15
I'm going to see if I can get them to go up and eval them, but they're not going to be able to physically cross due to the terrain.
03:22
Okay.
03:23
Yeah, if you need to be transported, I'll send another BLS unit up.
03:32
65 to Matt Morgan.
03:37
65, go ahead.
03:41
Traffic is getting off of the Delano exit.
03:43
What are you on our assignment?
03:49
So I have four guys on foot.
03:51
It's been taking probably a good hour to make it down to you.
03:54
We have to get the backlog cleared from the accident and the northbound lane.
03:58
So if you want to start turning around non-trackter trailers and head them back to get off the exit.
04:04
Like I said, I have four guys on foot that are doing the same thing up here.
04:09
Copy.
04:12
26 fire, please.
04:13
The deputy 26.
04:16
Go ahead, Keith.
04:19
I am way back in the backlog.
04:21
I'm sending all cars around tractor trailers.
04:23
I'm telling all truck trailers to pull up to the exit where I'm, or pull off to the side where I'm at.
04:32
Okay, that's a 10-4[1].
04:33
So just so you're aware, we're going to start moving passenger vehicles, flipping them around, they come the wrong way southbound in the northbound lane to clear this backlog, because this is going to be a reconstruction closed down likely for a few hours.
04:45
Just be aware you're going to have cars coming up on your tail.
04:49
Stay loose.
04:51
Negative. I am northbound before the exit, and I'm parking all the trucks on the right shoulder while sending traffic off the ramp.
05:03
Deputy 26.
05:06
Go ahead.
05:10
Okay, just going back to what you said before.
05:12
977, are they with this patient and then you need me to dispatch an additional unit to transport?
05:19
So they're on foot making their way to that vehicle right now.
05:23
It looks as the 4901 is right next to that as well.
05:27
I'm not sure if they're transported.
05:28
Are you aware of 49 is transporting one?
05:31
Yeah, from the 49 and 11 Delta are going to be transporting a patient.
05:36
So if 977 is a transport unit, I'm going to dispatch another BLS.
05:46
Correct, and they're going to have to come northbound in the southbound lane.
05:51
But Chief 988 is on foot.
05:53
He's going to let me know what he has.
