That's from Restico 21. Just, from your direction, it's going to be south of Hawthorne Bridge? Yeah, it's the dock on the east bank between Hawthorne and Markham. All right. Restle Road 21 coffees. We'll go check it out. And engine 13 from... Reds, Bill 21, even, Claire. Engine 13 cops quick. Thank you. So this did generate a police response for the suicidal subject. Are you in Medic 1339? Okay, advising on that, not violent, no weapons? That's affirmative. Gabby, thank you. Bill 21. So if you're on scene on the dockland side, they're talking to a bystander, they're not seeing her there, but bystander says she might have been swimming downriver headed your way.
