Release #24-22
SUBJECT: Ice Safety
Don’t forget about ice safety!
The Minden Hills Fire Department responded to an Ice/Water Rescue call on March 15, 2024,
due to the efforts of well trained and equipped Firefighters the situation was quickly brought
under control and fire crews successfully rescued one adult and a dog from the water.
Due to inconsistent and unseasonably warm temperatures over the past couple of weeks,
Minden Hills Fire Department urges residents and visitors to be particularly vigilant around
ice on bodies of water and moving water during this time. The ice is not safe.
Parents and guardians are advised to remind children about ice safety. When ice conditions
are dangerous, children should be directed to stay clear of open waters, creeks, and rivers.
We would also like to remind folks to try your best to keep pets away from the water/ice
during this time.
