- Climber/Hiker Fall: Involve primary fire department, law enforcement, emergency medical services (EMS), NPS, special operations, and determine direction of travel (northbound/southbound). Contact Medbase for possible air medical. Describe the subject and any vehicle involved. Establish a staging area from the incident command (IC) on scene. Note the location on the bridge, specific trail name, fall distance, and climb name (if climbing incident), whether the patient is responsive, visible injuries, and high rail availability.

- Search and Rescue: If performing a search, note the location, age, gender, clothing description, height, weight, last seen, hair and eye color.
