As temperatures begin to warm and we move toward spring, ice conditions become increasingly unpredictable
Throughout the winter, some of our members train as Ice Rescue Technicians, regularly practicing the specialized skills needed to respond to emergencies on frozen lakes and waterways. You may see #hfxfirefighters out training like this during the ice season.
With changing temperatures and recent snowfall covering many lakes and ponds, it can be difficult to see cracks, open water, or thin areas in the ice.
If you’re heading outdoors, remember: no ice is completely safe ice.
Use caution, avoid going alone, and stay off the ice if you’re unsure of conditions.
