While enroute OCFC advised responding Liverpool units that best access would be from the Covered Bridge Apartments parking lot. Upon arrival members from Rescue 1 deployed a full set of EMS gear and rescue equipment. After making access to the tracks from the wooded area it was found the pedestrian had scummed to his injuries. Command held with units on the scene.
