Director, you can go back in. Truck 1 is going to take your response. Way 2 responding. D.C.2 all company apparatus. So then it's of Achievement Bridge. It's going to be the pedestrian bridge across from the Casey Center. Got a call reporting that an adult male wearing a white shirt jumped off the bridge. Looks like it was called in by a passerby that was driving along the interstate that happened to see it. P.D. are in the area checking around so far. They've been unable to locate (name withheld) as well. from fire 81, I'll be on the air, I'm running. Copy. DG1 arrived, I'll be on the air. I'm hearing. Copy, G.C., one. A person that reported this, where are they at right now right now? They were a passerby that was driving on the interstate and no longer in the area. We just tried to call them and there was no answer on call that. As from engine one, I'm not sure there's any way that someone from the interstate could even see this from here. CETC's on scene. Okay. The dispatchment command, so do you have anything else from anybody else besides this person on the interstate, which is unlikely to see somebody from that far away? Negative, so nobody else has called it about it. PD's talking to people that have been walking around in the area and they didn't see anybody jump. We don't have anything further at this time.
