Dispatch 17, did you have traffic for us or did you tap us on something? 17 affirmative. We talked fireboat 17 R on an unverified like crash notification. This one came in on the river, so we were assuming it was a boat involved, not a vehicle. We're currently out of service on fireboat 17. Is there something that we need to clear this and go to that? Where's the call located? It's on the Willamit River at the East Bank at mile 2. Fireboat from 17 from C2. I'm looking at it now. Dispatch looking at it. I think you can tap fireboat 6. They're going to be just as fast probably up there as fireboat 7. Kingwood, so go ahead and start Fireboat 6, and we'll have them deal with the issue. Copy. And into 26, I don't know if you're aware, but 22's is currently stuck in the station. They've got an issue at the station, so that's why they're out of service. So you'll be the land-based unit, and then I've got Farboat 6 going to head your way. Okay, copy that. Okay, so when Fireboat picks gets on here, we just need somebody to advise us where they want us to go to be the land-based company. We're not going to be able to see this incident any from anywhere or any of the docs that I can tell. Dispatch copy thought. For a crash notification, no contact was made with the patient or person, but we could hear a motor running. Fireboat 17 and then June 26 and C2 are in route. Tucker will be Ops6, 1552. This, they could be helpful. Otherwise, let's leave them uninvolved. The land police declined to respond and the sheriff's boats are on the way. They're definitely going to beat Fireboat 6 to this, so hopefully they can help coordinate here on Op 6.
