Good for battalion 1 on factory. There's a pier just to the left of the bridge that goes on the Coast Guard Island. We have two swimmers that are underneath the pier and the patient is swimming deeper into the pier. They said as approximately 100 to 200 feet. We currently have visual and communication. The DAG team is down here getting prepared to the back. I copy all traffic. Truck 1, let's have you launch the rescue boat. Truck 2 Battalion 1. Same traffic, go ahead and launch the fireboat. Truck copy. All right fire. Tie-in-1 command. They confirm that the swimmer is still continuing to go deeper into the pier. He appears to be struggling. The dive team is getting ready to get in the water right now. Football ambulance on scene, AMA, where you are.
