The Santa Barbara County Fire Department says that someone reported the emergency when they were on Hope Ranch Beach. The caller said that a woman was hanging off the cliff without climbing gear.

Firefighters brought the whole cavalry, including trucks, drones, and other rescue vehicles. Once emergency crews arrived, they realized it was just a mannequin.

Where did it come from? Authorities say someone had used the figure to shoot a movie a few days earlier.
