Injured man flown by helicopter from Teton Village; chemical-smell call sickens two on Lake Creek Drive

Top stories

• Spinal-injury patient flown from Teton Village. At 18:33 Medic 60 was sent to the Teton Village clinic for a 36-year-old male with a spinal injury being packaged by mountain patrol. Medics requested the helicopter at 18:43; Teton Village Fire was paged to the "ranch lot" landing zone at 18:44 (Air One ETA ~7 min at 18:53), and the patient was in flight-crew care by 19:48. He was flown out alone; at 19:53 deputies were asked to retrieve his dog from his truck, and by 20:35 a girlfriend on scene had taken the dog (TG 1807/1801).

• Two sickened by chemical smell in a Lake Creek Drive unit (Wilson area). A 20:49 fire/medical page sent Medic 60, Engine 61, the duty officer and Battalion 2 to a residential unit on North Lake Creek Drive for occupants coughing and vomiting amid a chemical smell, possibly a gas leak. Occupants were told to evacuate; Medic 10 and Rescue 2-4 were added, crews packed up and made entry, and by 21:19 all patients on scene had refused transport and units cleared (TG 1807).

• Overnight backcountry contact by ground team. From roughly 00:08 to 03:00 a ground team on TG 1814 (unidentified talkgroup, apparent SAR traffic) worked up a drainage and at 02:18 reported physical contact with a subject at approximately 7,505 ft [suspect — transcription rough]. At 02:57 the patient's father was to meet the team at the trailhead, ETA ~10–15 minutes. No further detail in the log.

• Rec-center collision ends with blood draw and jail transport. A collision was reported at the rec center at 19:52. By 20:46 an officer requested an implied-consent blood kit and notification of St. John's; one male was transported to the hospital (~20:50) and then to the jail around 21:10, which suggests a DUI arrest, though no charge was stated on air (TG 1801).

• A heavy day of aggressive-driving complaints on local highways. Among many: a Jeep passing in no-passing zones and nearly causing head-on collisions NB on US-89 from the junction (08:34); a Duramax tailgating and brake-checking NB US-89 from MM 144 (10:59); a driver on Hwy 22 WB reportedly drinking from a tall-boy can while driving (13:29); a road-rage Suburban on Hwy 22 EB (15:20); a swerving Ford 350 SB on US-191 from Hoback Junction (18:56); and a Honda SUV doing 27 in a 55, all over Hwy 22 (20:57).

• Domestic dispute with vehicle taken, South Park Drive. At 18:11 units responded to a verbal domestic; the RP said her boyfriend left in a rage in her gray 2019 Tesla Model 3, reported as possibly stolen. The suspect phoned dispatch at 18:15 and was patched through to the responding deputy; no further disposition aired (TG 1801).

Also on the air

A busy but routine day otherwise: ~51 plate checks and 41 records checks, mostly warning-level traffic stops around Broadway and South US-89 late evening. Fire/EMS handled a 28-year-old with a head injury at the jail (00:36), a residential fire-alarm run to Porter Loop (06:33, no further traffic), a gondola-base allergic reaction at Teton Village that ended in a refusal (17:08–17:37), a CO alarm on Berkeley/Perrin Lane stood down at 21:00, and airport flight-crew shuttles by Medic 50 through the afternoon; Medic 40 covered the high-school football game from 18:03. Deputies also fielded illegal-camping and parking complaints, a trespass at Snake River Ranch, a false burglar alarm on Burnett Road, a found-property pickup, a hydro-seeding-in-the-creek code complaint on Cache Creek Drive, a juvenile mental-health contact at the fairgrounds, an intoxicated man at the mission (transported to jail), a lost cat locked inside the CompuNet building, and a wildlife incident on N US-89. School-bus channels (TG 1812) were thick with early-year logistics — kindergartner pickups for Munger Mountain, missing riders, a dashboard fault — and START (TG 1820) logged 27 transit exchanges plus lost-and-found chips, salsa and a green vape on bus 44.

By the numbers

• 2,340 transmissions across 619 exchanges (245 short status-only exchanges omitted from the log).
• Busiest talkgroup: TG 1801 Teton County law dispatch (1,389), then TG 1807 Fire/EMS (213), TG 1404 non-Teton county law (141), TG 1812 (127), TG 1820 START (102).
• Busiest hour: 20:00–21:00 (235 transmissions); quietest: 03:00 (0).
• Categories: status 228, unclassified 166, plate-check 51, medical 48, records-check 41, traffic-complaint 28, transit 27, crash 7, fire 6, traffic-stop 5, animal 3, plus scattered alarms, hazards and one domestic.

Caveats

• Significant out-of-county traffic in today's capture: TG 13751 is Fremont County EMS paging (including an 18:46 page for a man crushed under a four-wheeler near Arapahoe — not Teton County), TG 109 is statewide WHP, and TG 6386/6586 carried a major I-80 crash near Rock Springs MM 118 (~08:37, camper trailer destroyed, both lanes blocked, reopened by ~09:39) — Sweetwater County. TG 1404 appears to be Lincoln County (Afton) traffic.
• Whisper transcription is rough: unit numbers, road names ("West Saloni" is likely West Deloney; "Mursell" likely Mercill) and many exchanges are garbled; [suspect] lines are low-confidence. TG 1814, 1812, 172 and 1431 are unidentified talkgroups.
• Outcomes for several items (Porter Loop fire alarm, the overnight backcountry contact, the Tesla domestic) never aired and are unknown.
