It is true, as islanders we need to be somewhat more prepared...but taxes are supposed to provide us with some basic services. This isn't in disrespect to the Moultonboro Fire Department...but somewhere the ball was dropped. As a Tuftonboro resident I see our department almost every other day out training on their boat. Is this an access problem, or a training issue?

You're on an island which comes with inherent risks. Similar to hiking on a mountain or being in the back country. Unfortunately, things like this happen in these circumstances. My guess is that your case was handled by back-up. While there are many comforts on the islands these days people should realize it isn't like living in the city. I hope the lady is doing well.
