OB Tower 5.
00:01
I got a surfer waving his hands, far outside, a little bit north of Stokeety.
00:12
Tower 5 is in.
00:18
Eat at 12, it's unclear exactly what's going on out there.
00:23
There's an object floating just south of the two individuals on the north that are far as far out.
00:30
Just continue for coverage.
00:35
Go ahead.
00:38
And I haven't seen the wave that he was referring to, but... Dispatch 21 Sam out of District H.Q.
00:46
Two Sam covering calls.
00:52
Golly.
00:57
We'll be one time if there a reason we should start prep on the Fee.
01:05
I don't believe so. I think the guy might have just been waving to his buddy who's a little bit further inside.
01:10
It doesn't appear like they're into distress.
01:17
Copy.
01:25
We got eyes on the three surfers and then the one north is that they're far outside directly off our location, no visual of anyone else.
01:40
It's a group of four that we're looking at.
01:43
I believe, like I said, I think he was just waving to his buddy and they're all swimming together.
01:53
Go that. Do you copy that? Do you copy that?
02:05
Hey, Fern, I'm just still monitoring that group of four on the outside.
02:13
Yeah, they're waving a board, I'm not too sure what the issue is, though.
02:21
That was visual.
02:23
Looks like our guard is going to be on scene in about 10 seconds.
02:31
Unit 12 copies all clear from the Tower 5 guard. It's like the kid that was with that group just got scared, were a code for.
02:39
One rescue.
02:42
Copy that. You guys just standby there, getting it might be a little tricky with these sets.
02:49
Copy that. I concur.
02:55
Try and communicate with our guard on team to bail the victim's board with these conditions. It might be a little sketchy.
03:07
Oh, probably.
03:14
Is it just you solo, or do you have a wet seat?
