2801 NV4.
00:31
We have the LZ insight. We're just going to do a quick loop.
00:37
We'll land it shortly.
00:40
Copy, I have a visual of you as well.
00:43
2621, you can respond,
00:47
routine. Copy routine.
00:53
43 to North Memorial.
00:57
Go ahead, Percher.
00:59
Go on a little bit more distance. There is a field approach,
01:02
right on the south side there.
01:08
At 143 here, True 1.
01:11
Looking at the intersection,
01:16
I see someone, there's two,
01:19
three ambulances,
01:21
and the third one to the west has power lines over it. I think talking with the true...
01:30
We could land just west of that first set.
01:35
I do see the power lines going north to south just to the west of that. So we could drop in between those two sets and south of the power line to get a little closer to the...
01:53
the accident,
01:55
do you have traffic blocked off on that road budding in?
02:03
Give us a standby. I will transition my crew there and we will do that.
02:13
Good you fire to north on STAC-1.
02:17
Okay.
02:22
You guys have an idea where you're going to be flying either St. Mary's or north of the metro. We're just trying to keep the family located in the same area.
02:35
Family where they want the patient to go.
02:43
Very close to Rochester, St.
02:45
Barry's.
02:47
Copy, we're going to go to St.
02:48
Mary's for now. St. Mary's with all people.
02:52
And I'm going to be laying in to the south,
02:56
right where that intersection is to the west of all those ambulances.
03:01
We see both sets of power lines going from the north to the south.
03:06
We'll try this. We've got a lot of altitude to drop on the way down, so we'll take it slow and see if this works out. If not,
03:14
we'll probably use the road going east-west.
03:21
143 does north. Do you want my patrol car moves this all further?
03:26
That'd be great if you could do that.
03:30
143 and North, can we get this out of here before you land?
03:36
Watching that ambulance moving right now.
03:39
It'd be great, thank you. And I got the car moving too.
03:46
You guys are going to have to go back even further.
