A Firefighter trying to rescue a dog from a northern Indiana lake, needed rescuing himself. The Firefighter fell through the ice while trying to reach the dog after the dog walked out onto Lake Pleasant and fell through the half-inch thick ice. Arriving on the scene, Firefighters inched to towards him, wearing rescue gear but he too, fell through the ice when it gave way. Other firefighters on the scene were able to grab the dog and their fellow Firefighters, pulling both to safety
