Go ahead. Start with zone 1 and rescue 285 northbound of Benjamin Mays Drive.
00:06
Copy. Dispatch to 53.
00:10
2492 radio.
00:11
2492.
00:13
92, okay. Looks like Hero just stopped northbound traffic just north of MLK.
00:19
Let that unit know probably jump on at MLK.
00:22
2470, you copy that?
00:24
Guys, get on from MLK.
00:28
Hang on, Brady. You said Mays? I'm coming up on Mays.
00:31
I don't see anybody on the bridge.
00:33
Where are they supposed to be? Yeah, and you know, they have units out there still checking.
00:37
They haven't seen anything either.
00:39
They're still investigating.
00:41
Yeah, well Hero was stopping northbound for some reason just north of MLK.
00:45
There's nobody on the bridge at Mays, and Atlanta Fire was probably half a mile behind me southbound.
00:53
96 Radio, what are their marks? Is it 53J or what? It's not.
00:58
They advised a male was about to jump over the rail on the highway,
01:01
but they didn't see the male jump.
01:04
Also,
01:06
like I said, Fulton County is checking the end on Cascade.
01:09
It's between. Boulder Park, Cascade, and Benjamin E. Mays.
01:12
I don't have anything further.
01:14
Okay, okay.
01:16
Copy. Somebody just got on northbound from Cascade with lights on.
01:19
I guess that might be Fulton County checking their little piece.
01:22
RAC 79675 is on four, they're 800 hours.
01:26
2407 Radio, were they supposed to be on I-285 or at the bridge of Benjamin E Mays?
01:32
Do you know? On I-285, about a mile before,
01:37
5 mi from I-20 East, crossing I-20 westbound exits.
01:41
Copy.
01:42
I mean, 96 to 7, there are no bridges on 285 that go over anything, so it would have to be a bridge that goes over 285, I would imagine.
01:51
Either B Mays or MLK.
01:56
Copy this. While I was asking, I was going to go check Benjamin E Mays 1st , and then also check MLK and see what was in those two areas.
02:06
Ninety-two to seven.
02:07
If you check Mays, that'd probably be a little bit better.
02:10
I didn't see anybody on the, I guess, the northern side of the bridge as I was coming southbound.
02:15
Fine, I'll check over there.
02:16
I know that's all fenced off, but that doesn't mean they can't get around that area.
02:22
Yeah, let's affirm.
02:23
The one they had Friday, he was actually on the green roadway sign standing on a little light platform.
02:30
Copy. Yeah, I'll check over there then I'll go back and check on MLK.
