00:00
I got two patients,
00:03
one's already transferred by 69, I have 79 coming from Smithburg for the second patient.
00:09
I was going to see you guys have something available, but the westbound lanes will shut down, so I thought it'd be easier for that.
00:15
There's fluid leaking from the tractor trailer, two tracks with trailers involved.
00:21
If you want to go direct with Rescue Squad 8,
00:24
you're a rusty squad 8, I'll give you more information.
00:26
I'm with the second patient right now, about 150 yards away.
00:30
It's okay.
00:32
We're not having any luck getting Rescue Squad 8 on the radio.
00:37
Without abandoning your patient, there's any way you can flag them down and have them come up on Delta.
00:42
That's correct.
00:43
I'll switch back to RPS 1.
00:45
I believe they're following that and have a switchover.
00:49
1814 no credit. We're switching over now.
00:51
Okay.
00:53
Squad 8 on Delta.
00:55
Freshly, Squad 8, it was 993.
01:02
Battalion 3 Rescue Squad 8.
01:04
You've got a full hazmat assignment coming for a pump off.
01:06
Can you confirm that you just need units for pump off and not the entire assignment?
01:12
That's correct.
01:13
We just need them for a potential pump off.
01:17
All right, so should we hold the units from 33? You got enough locking pieces on the scene already?
01:23
Yeah, that's correct.
01:25
All right, the battalion 93, hold 33 for a pump off, place the rest of the unit to service.
01:32
I gave it sign 9-3.
01:33
Home and Company 33 placing their others in service.
01:36
It's status MDT, C-134.
01:44
That's 933 to Frederick.
01:45
Do you want to keep this call on Delta, or do you want to switch to Charlie?
01:48
And one of the units are operating besides from Cresci Squad 8.
01:53
Let's keep it all 9 Delta because the patch with Washington is established on this channel at this point.
01:59
Sounds good.
02:05
I have that 33 to rescue 20.
02:09
Good.
02:15
We're just coming by the 49 now.
02:18
What's going to be our best access to the eastbound side?
02:26
You're probably going to have to come up westbound and hit the turnaround just before the Appalachian Trail Bridge.
02:33
Okay,
02:34
the turnaround of the county line and come back east.
02:38
Yeah, that's correct, you'll see you.
02:40
Perkins 8-9.
02:44
All right.
02:48
What's your location?
02:53
70 westbound,
02:55
just past the rest area.
03:01
Okay, there's reportedly a second vehicle accident, 70 Eastbound,
03:05
just passed the entrance to the rest area.
03:10
If you're in a position to make it through that way and investigate that, if not, let's have someone go the other direction.
03:18
We're out there now getting on to east pound.
03:21
We can respond.
03:24
Okay, if you would just check that incident scene, if you can find it, it should be just past the entrance to the rest area.
03:31
We're direct.
03:37
That's by 33 to rescue spot 8.
03:43
Yes.
03:50
Confirming you do want this resource to the scene still.
03:52
You sound like you were still evaluating it.
03:59
Not exactly not breathing for man, are you guys on the furrowing or fast lane?
04:03
What's your location?
04:11
Just crossed Appalachian Trail.
04:15
Yeah, you might as well come in.
04:22
Hey, what's the way to have, Frederick? We've got the same two vehicles on the shoulder and there's this application.
04:27
We'll be out and designated.
04:29

04:36
I need you up by the entrance to the rest area.
04:39
You'll see the damaged track and trailer by vehicles in front of it.
04:44
Patient's stolen the driver's seat.
04:48
Copy, we're on the scene.
04:53
Okay, I think you can come around to the, uh,
04:56
Andrews, so I don't know that'll work.
05:00
