The fireboat 6 responding. The fireboat 6 responding is going to be a repeat of the potential jumper at Eastbound Burnside Bridge at the mid-span. Our caller saw a male standing on the south side railing, helicoptering his arms. I didn't know if he was trying to jump or might just fall. He's wearing a blue shirt and red pants. We're on off 6 at 1859. And this is for Fireboat 6, Squad 1 and C1. On Optics. It's 1859. Squad 1's arrived at the mid-span. We're not seeing anyone. We'll go ahead and take a lap. Let's see if we're going to find anything. Squad 1 has come in. Copy Squad 1 on scene at mid-span, not seeing anything. We'll check the area. Squad 1 is command at 1900. Now, companies from Squad 1, we went across Holbridge. We're not seeing anyone. I think you guys can all clear. We'll take one more pass-by, see if we see anything. One from C1, I agree with just one more look and then just recall the whole thing. Okay, copy that, and we can give back off six. We'll switch stops one. Dispatch copy, taking another look, then giving back Ops 6 and switching back to Ops 1. Everybody else clearing at 1901. Information, the recall is in on the potential jumper Easton Burnside Bridge at the midstand. We're unable to locate and doing one more check and all others are clearing. Off 6 is now clear with no dispatcher monitoring at 1902.
