Using a fortuna, a type of rapid deployment rescue craft, the ice rescue technicians were able to reach the dog in the water and bring it safely to shore at around 3:20 p.m.

“Our Ice Rescue Technicians quickly set up for the rescue and a rescuer made their way out to the dog with a fortuna,” the fire service said in a social media post.
