Station, just go ahead and hold all calls unless they're emergency.
00:13
Thank you.
00:15
All right.

25 to 202. You're going to talk while they're into that. There's no way he can hear it.

235 to other units, he's walking eastbound in the bridge now.

235 to 228, just for your information, he's stating that if we don't make contact with him, he's going to stay up here all night.

I'm advising there's a family member walking up the south side, maybe by you.

Does that make any sense? You can hear anything?
02:05
Myself in 2.30 haven't seen anything yet.
