LAW 1 went 10-3 for SO 19 for 2 seconds - radio coverage is terrible at the area they are at.

 

I guess I could say that for 80% of the calls.

[gtfamily]

OMG not again, prayers for all involved.

[FreeBird]

radio problems with PC comms center

 

units can be heard but dispatch is not transmitting

 

system appears to be back on line

[frmbh]

That makes 3 accidents on that stretch of road this year and that is yards from that last fatal accident.

 

61 North is getting to be awful and very sad to drive.

[FreeBird]

Rescue Air 1 out of Cobb has 4 min ETA

 

Best I can remember the record for choppers in the county at the same time is 5.

Same here.

My husband came home ticked off one night cause this guy stayed on his rear end all the way back from Cartersville. Hubby said he even slowed to a crawl so the guy could pass and he refused, so hubby moved to shoulder and stopped they guy finally passed by. Another car stopped behind hubby and said he saw the whole thing. To bad neither of them got a license plate!!!

[gtfamily]

4 total helicopters- 2 more just landed.

[FreeBird]

patient #3 has been extracated

DG, please fill in anything I have missed

I think you have covered what can be made out. There is a lot of static over the radios. Things come over your scanner faster than they do mine.

[newhopegal]

oh goodness all this is just horrible.. Sending up prayers..

[FreeBird]

DG, I am just listen online - I am in Marietta today.

 

I believe there are only there choppers involved - Emory Flight 3 &1 and Rescue Air 1.

[cmdudley]

I just came thru there and it did not look good. prayers go out to all those involved. It is so dangerous on 61N lately people have passed me running as least 75 Everyone traveling this road please slow down.

Oh OK. I think you are right about there being only 3 choppers. I was confused when someone said there were 4. I believe that is incorrect.

Looks like your right. We have not been able to hear all the traffic. It is broken and full of static. Seems to be better right now.

 

Thanks

[jlynnlaas]

vehicle desriptions, please! got family that way.

[ms.music]

I sat in traffic for probably 20 minutes before i had to turn around and take a detour down Snote Jones Rd so that I could get home. Traffic will probably be backed up for a while. You can't turn onto High Shoals or Shady Grove and 61 is shut down completely. Looks to be pretty bad. The entire time that I was sitting there they were working on one patient in the ambulance.

[HiramMomof1]

Oh.. this is horrible.... Prayers!!

Turn on Rock Store road when you get to the stop sign take a left on Harmony Grove and a right on Snote Jones that will take you back out to 61.

[FreeBird]

show all units in service - engine 1 remaining for vehicle removal
