Medical helicopter coordinates alternative landing for trauma patient, Mission Viejo CA
Heads up: This post was detected from real-time dispatch audio. Information may be incomplete, and the situation may evolve. Always verify using official agency releases.
Medical EmergencyEmergency services coordinated a medical helicopter transport for a trauma patient. Due to a hospital emergency room closure, they worked to find alternative helicopter landing zones near Saddleback College and Trabuco Canyon. The patient was stable enough for flexible offloading arrangements. Landing zones at Saddleback College were unavailable, leading to ongoing coordination for a suitable location and transport to Mission Hospital.

Redsumedic or copter 2 on 5 alpha.
00:05
Yeah, Cam, go ahead.
00:07
Hey guys, just thinking of a tertiary plan here, that OC Global is closed, still waiting to hear back from,
00:14
Saddleback if we can use their landing zone for offloading the patient.
00:18
Is the patient stable enough for us to figure out a landing or an offload location here near the incident and then have medics or whoever escort patients through the hospital?
00:34
That's affirmative we can do either or we're working on radio columns right now with Global.
00:41
You didn't understand us landing at Saddleback College to the offload.
00:49
Okay, copy that.
00:50
Yeah, I want to hear back from OCFA if we are able to use Saddleback.
00:59
Dr. 2, I see.
01:02
Go ahead for Topter 2 on 5 alpha.
01:06
Yeah, copy all that traffic and just that Hellespot 18 Bravo, where Plano Trabuco takes the hard left down to Trubuco Canyon, can that be used as a backup plan and do a land there and upload the patient at PV?

Qmedics. Go ahead.
01:38
Top to two, rescue medic 5 alpha.
01:40
I heard Plano Tribuco that would probably be a no-go just due to the amount of dust that we would create.
01:46
And the last time we landed there, we created some phone calls to the chief about dirt on people's homes.
01:52
So.
01:55
looking for the next probably just the hoist and see if we can land at either
02:01
Saddleback College or throwers field because we're going to be Medicaid and this patient.
02:08
Okay, I copy that.
02:09
Yeah, I could be in the pilot, we're just talking about the Plano and not being a good idea.
02:13
Okay,

Cptor 2, I see, did you copy that? Saddleback College advised both identified landing zones are not available.
03:03
From Coptor 2, yeah, I copy that traffic.
03:05
Okay, let's figure out another landing zone to offload the patient to then have a medic escort two mission.

03:49
Dr. 2, I see 5elpa.
03:53
Go ahead for Copter 2.
03:56
Hey, do you have a better LV or another option besides that?
04:06
Yeah, I see for multiple consequences, I've been talking with a pilot.
04:10
I think Tivoli is a easy landing zone.
04:13
It is very close to Mission Hospital.
04:16
So I start a medic unit and a ground ambulance to Tivoli, and we'll go with that.
04:27
Okay, copy that.
04:28
You'd like to go at, would you like to go at Tivoli over the ball fields if the ball fields are open?
04:38
I see you guys.
04:39
Just made thought we've got to do the hoist evelace evelace.
04:43
Let's just start up to Tivoli and we can just go with that since we know that that's going to be a good landing zone and it's fairly close to mission.
04:56
Okay, I see copy, I'll make that happen.
05:03
After 2, I see, bye Bob.
05:08

05:14
County Fire just got back to me on the command channel.
05:18
Saddleback PD says throwers field is available in three minutes.
05:22
Would you like to use that as a primary plan and we'll start a unit and ambulance there?
05:29
Yes, we'll use that as a primary plan and we'll start a medic unit and an ambulance to throwers field at Saddleback College.
05:36
And I'll let you know in order and route after our extraction.
05:40
Okay, drop you that.
05:41
I'll get that in play and then backup plan will be typically, but we'll go with throwersfield.
