Piper 12, I'm at the command post at Arcadia Valley School.
00:03
Got a report of three 1st responders in the water on the Black River.
00:10
The location I have at this time is on a map that shows an area called Bearcat Getaway.
00:17
Looks like it's in Reynolds County.
00:20
Looks like it's right off the intersection of County Road
00:25
370 and Annapolis Road.
00:28
That's the only location I have at this time.

905 Poplar Bluff.
00:39
905.
00:41
I just spoke with Reynolds County Sheriff and the St.
00:43
Louis Fire Command post here on the scene.
00:48
Apparently Cape Fire has just launched a boat.
00:51
They have flipped the boat and their swimmers in the water.
00:53
Three or four rescue personnel in the river.
00:57
They advise Franklin floats, we can disregard on that call.
01:00
And they've got five subjects in a tree at Bear Creek.

Two 300
01:10
county road 623 and brosley, in response to a (number withheld) year old female,
01:16
chief complaint of weakness.
01:24
I believe that sounds like the same call.
01:27
They had contact with one rescue swimmer that was currently secure on a log.
01:32
He said there were two more accounted for.
01:33
He thought they were upstream from him.
01:39
Okay, the fire chief just advised me that they just launched a few minutes ago and flipped.
01:46
And they said the subjects at Bearcat were not able to get to from here because there's a cable in the water that's flipping the boats.
01:55
Okay, yeah, I was just advised by the personnel here that it was a boat that flipped and the rescue swimmers are in the water.
02:06
20 to 905, are you en route to that location?
02:12
Yeah, we're here at the bridge now.
02:13
We're going to try to get a boat in the water to get the Cape Fire subjects, and they advise that we're not able to get the Bearcat from here.
02:24
Four.
02:28
Five left 20 .
02:30
Go ahead.
02:32
I believe we've copied the majority of the traffic.
02:35
We've lost most of the radios twice.
02:41
Ten four. Bluff, I'll be back in the command post.
02:44
I'll be available by cell phone only.
02:46
I don't have my portable on me.
02:49
Understood.
02:51
505.
02:55
Go ahead.
02:57
What location are you en route to for the Cape Fire?
03:03
They advised they just launched from the bridge and shortly after flipped.
03:07
So no one knows exactly where they're at, just downstream from the bridge.
03:11
So we're fixing to launch a boat here at the bridge to search for them, and then we're going to try to find an alternate route to get to.
03:17
Bear gets
03:19
Cape Fire or St.
03:20
Louis Fire advised they had the landing taken care of.
03:26

03:28
Do we need to create a separate call for service or continue on this?
03:33

1435 is down a county road just to the west of us and advised he's down there with some of the Cape Fire guys and the subjects in the water are down below him.
04:05
So we're going to go to 1435's location, launch.
