MUKILTEO, Wash. (AP) — A Mukilteo, Wash., assistant fire chief says a water rescue at the town’s ferry docks involved a man who says he jumped into the water for fun.
Assistant Chief Brian McMahan tells the Daily Herald the man was out of the water by the time firefighters arrived shortly after 5 p.m. Monday on a snowy night with temperatures in the mid-20s. McMahan says the man appeared to be in his late teens or early 20s. He was barechested, barefoot and wearing swim trunks.
Medics checked the man but he didn’t appear to be injured.
Says the fire official, “He thought it’d be a good joke.”
Mukilteo is about 20 miles north of Seattle.
