Along with Hamilton County Medic units, New York State Fire officials, and Hamilton County Dispatch, fire and emergency medical services units from BMLFD, LLFD, SPFD, LPFD, NRFD, WFD, Indian Lake Volunteer Ambulance Corps, and BMLEMS responded.
While the Hamilton County Highway Department helped with access and roadway operations, the ILFD Ladies Auxiliary offered assistance.
