Gilford asked for M and T to come as backup and to stand by at the launch. They were not on the original call because Welch is in Gilford, so Gilford and Laconia were the 1st to be called out.
When it came down to it, they made a decision that there was enough ice for the ATV, which there clearly was because they made it out and on their way back went through.
Again, just shows that no ice is safe ice, no matter what thickness around the area may be. This was clearly one of those situations, they went out to try to do their job and make sure people were safe because someone on Long Island looked out and "saw a building on fire through his binoculars" and there was no such thing.
Fire fighters risk their lives every day, everyone was safe this time.
