Cap, the answer to this can only be to do the right thing and stretch in. This persons house is on fire and it is never 100% sure that nobody is in the house until a search has been completed. Besides the black eye on th FD's reputation in the publics eye, the fact is that the IC ordered the line stretched. In my opinion it is time to cowboy up and do our job. If its my decision, I'm going in. Its gut check time. Not every scenario is completley safe, if you want that, be an accountant. Tactically- fire doesnt get better unless we act. As for the 2 in 2 out rule, save that argument for the union meetings. I know I took an oath when I got hired, I just think occasionally we forget that and what this job is really all about.
