00:00
You're going to be responding down to the highway.
00:03
It's going to be right outside of the park.
00:08
There is a skitter operator with the logging industry.
00:13
Has flipped his skitter over on top of him and has made a call to a friend.
00:18
I guess he's under the skitter.
00:20
So Carter County has been notified.
00:23
And we're going to try to find where this guy's at.
00:31
and the West Carter Angels.
00:34
Hey, Affirm, Central, County.
00:41
Not to confirm, if you're going tonight now.
00:46
9-24, 1126, trips you slew.
00:54
Hey, do you know if they have a bird en route and do we need to get a landing zone or any coordinates for them?
01:04
Yeah, I can ask.
01:06
I don't know where we can land it. We'll still have to ride transport a little ways. There's nowhere out on that ridge you can land a helicopter.
01:17
I would think the closest place would be right in the middle of Z highway somewhere like near Elf Point, as long as there's no utility lines.
01:27
Yeah, I mean, but if we're right there, we probably just do parking field.
01:33
I can get and look at it once we figure out where they're at.
01:37
I'm not hearing much from county. I know they're going back and forth if they said ZZ or Z highway.
01:44
But I'm sure it's Z highway, correct?
01:48
Yeah, because I think the victim is the one who called Drummond and he's had three miles down Z and that makes sense because they are cutting wood down here. I don't think they'll land in the parking because that grass is like eight feet tall.
01:59
I was in it last night.
02:03
No ground.
02:04
Well, the power line follows Z for a long ways, so I'll see if we can find an area where there's no power lines.
02:12
Yeah, how about the little field?
02:16
They're on the right before you pull up in Shawnee Ridge.
02:19
It's cut.
02:22
Yeah, that's a good option.
02:28
Yeah, I'm not sure anybody here. I think we're going to be the first ones on the scene.
02:31
I'm looking at my... It's going to be about three miles is where that road's at.
02:37
I'm going to go directly 414 and see what he's got in route because I know he's in route.
02:43
Okay, for me.
02:48
You can be disregarded.
02:54
Two-thirds.
02:55
Copy. Can you attach me to the CFS[1]?
02:58
Okay, sir, can go ahead.
