We had a couple of dogs through the ice today. There were enough of us on duty that there wasnt a need for a team page.
I was just checking out at my zero when I hear the call come out so I ask the Marine Sgt. if he wanted me to respond. Yup, so Im in route at 1608. This is a non code run because nobody is on the ice with the dogs.
Fire gets there at 1619 because their station is less than a mile a way. I get on scene at 1628 and find out there is only about 50 of suitable rope and another 50 of ¼ line on the truck with the Rescue Alive. Not acceptable at all. I carry almost 600 in my rig alone. Each team member carries at least 275 in their vehicle with their dive gear.
So we supply 600 of line and one of the two dogs was recovered. Sadly one disappeared under the ice and the other didnt make it despite CPR efforts on shore.
We are going to do some PSAs over the next few days in hopes of keeping the public off the rotten but good looking ice.
