Thanks for this post, its not to see other rescue assignments once in a while.

 

[It Is What It Is]

Does anyone know if that was L-22 with cold water rescue personel in the water or if it was R-1?

There was one member from Rescue 1 in the water and the crews from Engine 74, Ladder 25, and Rescue lowered a portable ladder to the victim and lifted her up to the promenade and over to EMS.  TL 23 was the assigned water/ice rescue unit as L 22 was on another box.  Nice job done by all.
