I'm not sure they're operating on Optic. T1 from Engine 1 and Off6. Yeah, it sounds like this guy's already in the water. We've got one water-based unit as one land unit appropriate. We can drop Truck 1 and just keep an engine 1 coming. Yeah, it's affirmative. Good idea. Truck 1 could clear. and with them. Dispatch for all units incoming, it sounds like the subject is now taking off his clothes to help himself float. Okay. And dispatch, we show Rescue Boat 21 in route, and place the fireboat 21. We'll rescue boat 21 in the route. This is going to be a repeat of the water incident, West Bank, Blamette River, just south of Morrison Bridge. For reports of a male in the water, something is now naked and trying to float themselves towards shore, reaching out to, trying to yell out to people onshore. Other reports saying something slowly floating northbound, last seen next to 811 NATO building. 1, MEDIC-13-13, and ROR-NOP6, at 7058. POMADX-13-13 to command, where you want on? Just headed 21 for now. 1C1, Medi-13, MEDIC-13-13, and RORon-Op6, at 70-58. I think 1313 to command where you want to? Just headed 21 for now.
