Typically a portable pump using lake water and 1 1/2" or 1 3/4" hand lines would be used on properties that are not accessible by fire trucks. The time involved in the response would mean that the fire would have a substantial amount of time to grow.

The equipment would be brought to the island by whatever means is safe and available like a hovercraft or even placed in a small flat bottom boat to be towed across the ice.
