Okay, no luck on finding the owner of the chief.
00:02
The residence of the patient is actually near Overbeck/Solar area.
00:06
There's no way we're going to be able to walk.
00:08
Fire is going to try to walk on up there.
00:10
We're going to try to get it from the other side off Solar, but none of this is plowed very well.
00:18
Understood.
00:25
Attention on the channel, get our road closure information.
00:30
It's going to be Medicaid's area.
00:31
Excelsior is going to be closed from Meltzover to Millbridge and Millbridge from Carnival to Series with no access for emergency vehicles.
00:41
Again, that's road closure information, Medicaid's District.
00:43
First one is Excelsior Street between Eltshover and Millbridge.
00:48
And then Millbridge from Cardival to Series.
00:53
I'll be closed with no access for emergency vehicles.
00:55
They'll call when it's reopened.
00:57
Time is 1029.
01:05
Base 11.
01:07
Medical 11.
01:11
We're in the area, fire check the area.
01:13
There's no patient around here.
01:23
Do you a callback just confirm the address?
01:29
Precute. And I did say it was in the driveway next to a vehicle, I don't know vehicle description, however, but let me tempt that callback.
01:36
Five by two.
01:45
Unit 502, go ahead.
01:48
Five with you, go ahead.
01:51
Yeah, I spoke to Medic 6.
01:53
Can we assign an officer to that detail to whatever vehicle is blocking the path?
02:01
Apparently public works is having issues as well.
02:06
That's your seat.
02:07
We'll get it sent over to the police.
02:14
Space medic 6.
02:16
We made it up on to Overbeck the other way.
02:19
Now we're just looking for the residents.
02:28
Medic 6 one more time.
02:32
We made it up onto Overbeck.
02:34
We're just looking for the residents now.
02:36
We had to come up via Solar Street.
02:37
It's pretty treacherous, but we got up.
02:39
I think we did find the residents.
02:41
I don't know if fire made it all the rest there yet.
02:46
That's received medic 6.
02:48
This is a 32 truck.
02:49
We're with the patient right now.
02:50
I'm sitting in a firefighter out front to wave them down.
02:54
That's received 32 truck.
02:55
Medic 6, did you copy?
02:57
Hey, that's copy.
02:59
Unfortunately, with that Jeep at the other end, I don't know how we're going to get out of here, so maybe if the division cloud driver can come up a hole or maybe clear some of that, because we're either going to have to back or there's just no way to even do a three-point turn up here.
03:16
After shoot.
03:19
Dispatching 32 truck.
03:22
32 truck.
03:24
Yeah,
03:25
I believe the owner of the Jeep did come outside of the house after we passed them by.
03:30
We were too far up the street.
03:31
When the medics load the patient up, we can probably go back down there and try to have them move that Jeep.
