Heroes of the Week: Firefighters of Merrimack, NH Rescue

 This week's heroes are the firefighters of Merrimack, New Hampshire that rescued a person from an island after crossing ice on a semi-frozen lake. If you look at the photo of the lake, there's a good amount of open water... so what was the ice-walker thinking? Or not thinking?  Here's the story of the heroes who saved the person:
