UPDATE: SFD response at Seacrest

9:39 AM: Seattle Fire medics are responding to Seacrest right now after a report of a diver who had been unconscious in the water. Via emergency radio, he is described as a man in his early 20s, brought to shore aboard a Water Taxi, and several SFD units have responded to treat him.

9:53 AM: No further radio updates so far. We’ll be following up with SFD.

1:55 PM: We just heard back from SFD spokesperson David Cuerpo, who says the diver is a 57-year-old woman and that she was in stable condition when transported to Virgina Mason.

The post is completely wrong. It was a scuba diver and the water taxi had nothing to do with it.

Hi, thank you for your comment. I just got official info from SFD’s PIO, and yes, some of it differs from the original dispatch, which happens sometimes. I am updating momentarily – TR

A more conversational tone may be nice. Geez…

A bit confused. Is it a “report of a diver who had been unconscious in the water” or ” who says the driver is a 57-year-old woman”? Glad to hear they were in a stable condition.
