This is a truck 1.
00:25
Track 1, go ahead. It's going to be up on Burnside or down below Burnside.
00:27
Truck 1, that is...
00:30
It does not say, I will ask.
00:33
Truck 1 copies.
00:34
Box one from squad one.
00:36
Is this a person having a medical condition? It just says, or is this just a dead battery on a wheelchair?
00:43
It is a dead battery on a wheelchair.
00:45
The person does not have any medical need.
00:47
Okay, I don't think there's going to be anything we can do for them.
00:51
Is there a PSR maybe or something? If you recall.
00:54
So it was initially set up for PSR.
00:56
We were messaging them and they don't have any resources for a dead battery on a wheelchair.
01:01
Do you know of any kind of cab or wheelchair van? There's nothing we're going to be able to do for them either.
01:08
Okay, copy that.
01:09
Yeah, I don't know of any other resources on our end that we would send.
01:13
I'm not sure if a, like, fire or county-paid cab is something that would have wheelchair capabilities as well.
01:19
And squad one, we could also try for a cab, but they typically don't staff a wheelchair transport vehicle at night.
01:25
Yeah, copy that.
01:26
We've had that problem before.
01:27
Sometimes they do have, I think it's worth at least a shot at trying to get that one available.
01:32
And I'll try to do some research over here as well.
01:36
Copy that, thank you.
