The group responded after someone saw what appeared to be a body near the bottom of the bridge. Others in the area used a drone to confirm there was a body. The team confirmed the location through drone imagery.

The recovery was conducted on Wednesday evening with help from Jefferson County Search and Rescue, Olympic Mountain Rescue, Mason County Search and Rescue, MCSO SORT personnel, West Mason Fire, deputies, and detectives.

According to the Mason County Sheriff’s Office, the victim is believed to be a man in his early 20s. The bridge is just southwest of the Hood Canal and is the tallest railroad bridge ever built in the U.S., according to the Washington Trails Association.

VIDEOS: Four people were injured, including two firefighters, and 14 residents were displaced after a massive house fire spread to two neighboring buildings Thursday morning on the city’s Southwest Side.

Firefighters responded to a large fire at a home on Laflin Street near 45th Street in the Back of the Yards neighborhood. The fire spread from the original home to two neighboring buildings before crews were able to bring it under control around 6:45 a.m.

Two civilians and two firefighters were taken to hospitals with minor injuries, and a total of 14 people were displaced.

Just under 100 firefighters responded to the scene. Fire officials credited them with preventing even greater damage.

“The crews here did a phenomenal job,” a fire official said at the scene. “Their quick actions protected the exposure buildings from being complete losses, and again, if it wasn’t for their quick action, we would have had a much bigger incident here.”

VIDEO: Every year, thousands of firefighters are deployed across the Wild-Urban Interface (WUI) to battle wildfires.

In this zone, where homes and communities meet or intermingle with undeveloped wildland, are more than 40 million homes at risk.

Recognizing the growing need for education and awareness surrounding WUI fires, the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF) has released a new Safety INSight video designed to educate both the fire service and the public on these fires and the advances being made to prevent future destruction.

Safety INSight first launched in 2021 as an educational video series to bring awareness to fire safety advancements, lessons learned, and best practices across the fire service industry. The goal of the series is to reduce risk, prevent injuries and fatalities, and ultimately save lives.

“At the NFFF, an important part of our mission is prevention—both firefighter injuries and line-of-duty deaths,” said Victor Stagnaro, CEO of the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF).
