They said they were ice fishing about 40-60 feet off the shoreline in the rear of 261 Narragansett on the Pittsfield and Lanesboro line. One of the civilians had brought their pickup truck, a 2023 Chevy Sierra 2500, which had been left offshore and wound up falling through the ice. The Environmental Police and Environmental Protection Agency were notified as a result of the incident. The Pittsfield Fire Department recommends that civilians stay off the ice, on foot or in a vehicle, on all bodies of water, as freezing temperatures in the area have not been sustained long enough to maintain thick ice.
