Thank you, Norfolk. Unit Surin Route, I'm a water rescue. On a water rescue. It's going to be the HIV-T South Island. Cool states that they saw a boat in the water next to the southwest bridge of the HIVT that shot off a flare. It's going to be one of the state police troopers that reported it. Maybe I can go ahead. Yes, ma'am, would there be a better description of where this young lady may be? Wave drove around Granby and close proximity to the intended location, but we cannot find anyone. Nobody's waving us down. I'll give them a call back. Engine 1, Norfolk. Engine 1. The Medicaid's going to transport our patient.
