Martin County advised.
00:01
The deputy was doing a welfare check in the area.
00:05
The male took off on foot and jumped in the water.
00:10
I'm not sure if he's got 1029s or not.
00:13
I'm not sure why he ran.
00:16
For me, they had received a call.
00:20
It spent about two weeks, but that male was supposed to be down around Bridgeport, and I guess the fact that he had him in NCIZ.
00:26
We checked him that day, and they actually just saw having an NCIZ that was supposed to be Andrews him.
00:34
He made the 29 at this point.
00:46
Do you want to go Rompore?
00:52
Anything after he went in the water, they lose visual of him.
00:59
Negative, they still have eyes on him.
01:02
They gave me a description of him.
01:03
He's wearing a reflective vest,
01:06
blue jacket,
01:07
and a yellow hat.
01:11
Is this out in the water?
01:16
Affirmatives.
01:17
They advised their dispatch and rescue teams to that area.
01:24
Stand forward to give us updated.
01:26
We'll be enraised and be sent it.

01:36
Go and see if you can find here at 27,
01:39
B.B.S.
01:46
The situation says that we need to go within that 10 feet line, that's what we're going to do, right?
01:51
Yeah, 10-4[1].
01:53
For now, do you feel in the way you will be safe right now? 50 feet perfectly fine.
01:58
It's all about preference to the operator.
02:05
We're just, we're communicating about some stuff here real quick.
02:09
All right, now,
02:11
that's Brad.
02:12
If we retract it all away and go straight up in the air, I want to show you got something.
02:17
Well, I was telling him, I feel safer.
02:19
I know this ladder is not going to tip.
02:21
I'm trying to get him to the point to where we feel safer being right directly over the truck.
02:25
You see what I'm saying? Yep, and that works.
02:28
And that's another thing.
02:30
All it does is just take the time to get used to.
02:32
Me, when I first started, yeah, I hated a lighter truck.
02:37
If you're going to be honest, I hate a stick.
02:38
I'd rather have a platform any day of the week because my feet are touching the bottle.
02:42
And then I don't have to sit there and worry about the sleigh.
02:44
But what we'll do is, is I'm going to take you guys straight up.
02:47
I'm going to do a little 360,
02:49
and then once you get comfortable, we'll go up a couple feet, a couple runs, and we'll just keep working our way up until we're all way extended.
02:56
All right, tell Zach, I say go get my cigarettes off of that couch in there, please.
03:06
It's correct.
03:08
Okay, I just want to make sure our turntable is still working on me, okay?
03:12
Now, once you get right there,
03:15
about halfway,
03:16
I want you to stop.
03:18
Not back, I want you to get over the top of the truck, and I will just bring you cigarettes up the lighter.
03:23
You can toss to me once we get to RC.
03:26
No, I'm wanting to climb the ladder.
03:28
Okay.
03:31
I think the more we work this, the better off we'll be.
03:34
You'd like to take me on over to my right, please.
03:41
Yeah,
03:43
you know what I'm saying? I want to be able to operate this thing if a life or death situation is.
03:48
You get what I'm saying?
03:50
Yeah, I know what you meant.
04:09
All right, I turn my power off.
