Medical helicopter requested, then stood down, for possible stroke on senior bus at Teton Village

Top stories

• Possible stroke on a senior-citizens bus at Teton Village draws multi-agency response, helicopter briefly launched-for. At 11:25 Medic 60 was paged to the Mangy Moose parking lot for a 73-year-old woman with clear stroke signs aboard the bus (TG 1807). Teton Village Fire was added at 11:30, Battalion 6 set up a landing zone at Stilson, and the Air One helicopter was requested with a 17-minute ETA — then stood down at 11:40 as the patient became alert and improved. Medic 60 transported by ground to St. John's at 11:53, arriving 12:13.
• Injury crash near the Fremont County line brings mutual-aid request before patient declines care. At 05:49 dispatch paged Medic 60 and Station 4 for a collision with injuries, no road blockage, in the far northeast of the county (location garbled; a "Togwotee" response is referenced [suspect]). Fremont County's closest medic — in Dubois — was requested and confirmed, but the involved party twice declined EMS; a WHP trooper took the scene. All Teton fire/EMS units cleared by about 06:00 and Fremont was stood down at 06:11.
• Man transported after apparent intentional overdose during welfare check. A 18:40 welfare check for a man sending goodbye texts at employee housing north of town escalated at 18:56 when he told the deputy on scene he was actively taking multiple medications, reportedly a large dose of a sedative [spelling uncertain]. Medic 60 arrived at 19:03 and transported to St. John's at 19:14, with a deputy following to the hospital.
• Home evacuated for gas smell in Melody Creek Lane area. At 20:36 Engine 71, a duty officer and Battalion 6 responded to a strong smell of gas near a water heater at a Melody Creek Lane residence; three occupants and a dog were out of the house. Units cleared at 21:10 with no further incident reported on air.
• Toddler in active seizures at urgent care. At 09:56 Medic 10 and Engine 11 were sent urgent to the urgent care on South US-89 for a 2-year-old in active seizures, flu-positive. Medic 10 was en route to St. John's at 10:16, arriving 10:24.
• Game & Fish investigates report of moose shot from the road near Bondurant. At 09:04 a warden (GF64, via WYDOT/Game & Fish TG 6403) took a report of someone shooting a moose from the roadway near MM 135 on US-189/191, ran vehicle registrations and license-draw records — one associated person held a moose tag — and cleared the call at 10:13; disposition not stated on air.

Also on the air

A steady traffic day: 31 plate checks and 21 records checks, five traffic stops (mostly verbal warnings for speed, one open-container warning at 00:58, one cite for no driver's license at 15:40), and a stream of driving complaints — motorcycles passing on double yellows on WY-22 (12:12), a swerving 4Runner on US-89 (13:08, no impaired driver found), a swerving vehicle near Dairy Queen (17:15, GOA), an aggressive tailgater on the WY-22 Snake River bridge (19:01), and a possible impaired driver near Middle School Road (20:48, UTL). Motorist assists included a cargo van blocking eastbound WY-22 near MM 14 (09:51, out of the roadway by 11:24), a UTV that lost a wheel on Lower Gros Ventre Road near the old Kelly store, and two separate vehicles stuck in the town parking garage. Alarms all checked secure (four burglar, two residential fire). A moose jam backed up traffic past the airport at 18:01. One court arrest went to the jail at 10:41, a hit-and-run was reported on Gregory Lane at 12:16, and a theft report at a local fitness club at 17:52. START and school buses ran routine traffic — full buses, winter-fare questions, and a couple of kids held aboard when no parent was at the stop.

By the numbers

• 2,072 transmissions across 597 exchanges (269 short status-only exchanges omitted from the log).
• Busiest talkgroup: TG 1801 Teton County law dispatch, 1,293 transmissions (62%); then TG 1807 Fire/EMS (322), TG 1812 (124), TG 1820 START (122).
• Busiest hour: 11:00–12:00 with 241 transmissions (the Teton Village stroke); quietest: 23:00 with 24.
• Categories: status 209, unclassified 202, medical 56, plate-check 31, records-check 21, transit 16, traffic-complaint 15, animal 10, fire 9, traffic-stop 5, welfare 5, crash 5, noise-parking 5, plus scattered suspicious, hazard, alarm, warrant and 911 traffic.

Caveats

• TG 13751 is Fremont County (Lander) EMS paging and TG 109 is statewide WHP — the Lander medical calls, Lost Cabin Road smoke investigations, the Highway 26 MM 98 injury crash, and the I-80 complaints out of Rock Springs are not Teton County incidents and are excluded from the log below.
• TG 1812 is unidentified; its traffic (124 transmissions) is consistent with school-bus operations, not public safety.
• Whisper transcription is rough today: the 05:49 crash location, several road names ("West Neate Road," "W 78th Road"), and the sedative name in the 18:56 overdose call are garbled; unit numbers and plates throughout should be treated as unreliable.
