I apologize. I heard Engine 13 calling for me on this channel, and it is possible that it could be a water rescue if the boat continues to take on water. Send it for now, upgrade to a water rescue then. Thank you. Engine 7, North Attack 1. Engine 7. Clear me off my message on East 20, sorry, West 20th Street and place me on the accident message with (name withheld) 3. Center for. Water rescue at Community Beach, 700 East Ocean View Avenue. Matter 13. Can you still on Tech 4? Medic 15 (name withheld). Copy. Engine 13 responding. Copy. That's not you tune around. Lider 13 will be staging at the fireboat. Latter 13 contacted Lifeguard on the Lifeguard channel. She was saying that the boat is in deep water. It seems to be beached. There's no way we're going to be able to get the fireboat in close enough. Engine 13, copy. We're bringing the Zodiac. Copy that, sir. Let us know if we need to deploy Fireboat 13. Engine 13, got it. I'm offered the latter 13, and I apologize for the confusion, sir. As soon as I gave you the instruction a moment ago, then she upgraded it thinking it could be a water rescue. Copy that, ma'am. That's why I contact her on the Lifecar Channel. Thank you, sir.
