Three men broke through the ice Saturday evening while ice fishing at Brettuns Pond in Livermore, according to fire officials. Chief Don Castonguay of Livermore Fire & Rescue said Sunday the three men had been fishing all day when they went through the ice at a spot they “must have passed over about a dozen times.” Castonguay said the last man to exit the water had been treading water for about 10 minutes, but the only complaint from the men was numb fingers. “Somebody saw them and was able to pull them out with a garden hose,” Castonguay said.
