I have eyes on the paddleboarder.

Park 16 from Horsetooth command.
00:35
Does it look like we'll need to drop the boat at Zentanka?
00:40
That probably wouldn't be a bad idea.
00:42
Looks like they're getting pushed further east, so they might make shorefall on the east side of the reservoir, but they might not be able to make it back to Satanka with the wind.
00:51
Copy that. Well, boat seven drop at Santhanka and engine four will meet with you at Skyline.
00:58
Copy. I'll be east-stage at Skyline, keeping eyes on the paddleboarder.
01:01
Looks like they're currently paddle boarding back towards Satanka, making slow progress.

Commandantia 2.

01:46
With you and Park 16 on scene having a view of the paddleboarder, are you comfortable with units that aren't on scene other than both 7 and the rescue, not emergent?
01:58
We are not quite on scene yet, Chief, so once we get on scene, I'll update you.
02:02
Let's keep everyone emergent for now.
02:06
Copy. Copy.
02:11
Park 16. Continue visual at the paddleboarder.
02:14
They're not distressed.
02:15
They're just fully making their way back.
02:17
I think once we get both seven, we can keep one more unit coming and others can either disregard or slow down to a routine response.
02:28
I have two copies and referencing command on engine four.
02:34
We'll continue all units for now until we get that boat in position.
02:40

03:48
Um,
03:49
sorry, if the boat wants to get in there, cruise by, see if they need it, then it's a quick.
04:01
If you were real broken with the wind, I couldn't hear that.
04:05
Yeah, I'm with Park 16.
04:07
The person in the reservoir is making really good progress headed back up north.
04:11
We could probably still put the boat in the water and see if they need assistance, but I'll leave that up to you.
04:16
Okay, copy.

Then, boat seven, you have a second paddleboarder to the north of your location on the west side.
