Just prior to 9 am this morning 12/18, crews from Vancouver Fire Department (VFD) responded to reports of a male that jumped into the Columbia River off the 205 bridge towards the Washington side.  Vancouver Fire Boat 1 (FB1) and Port of Portland Rescue Boat 80 (RB80) spotted and pulled the male out of the 50 degree water at 9:15. CPR and advanced life support was initiated once on board.  The unidentified patient was taken to Marine Park where AMR transported to Peace Health SW.
