Ice rescue in action
Gladwin County Record
Butman Township Fire Rescue Assistant Chief Greg Polluck and Captain Robert Shouse are in the water with one of two gentlemen who fell through the ice last week at Lake Lancer's Butman Township Boat Launch. After the first man fell through the ice while dragging a shanty, a second man fell through while trying to rescue him. The incident was witnessed by Asst. Chief Polluck, who radioed for back-up. Chief Jim Baker, and Rich Deyarmond, who was passing by, manned the rope to pull the men to safety.
Chief Baker would like to remind fishermen to always fish with a partner, and that the township does not monitor ice safety. "There is no such thing as safe ice", Baker said.
