With the winter season upon us, attention needs to be drawn to the dangers of unsafe ice and how tragedy can be averted. Wellesley Fire and Rescue wants to alert all of its citizens to the dangers of thin ice and how to react to an emergency situation. The following link will direct the user to the official website of the Executive Office of Public Safety where information is available regarding when a rescue should be attempted and survival techniques for individuals who fall through the ice.
The accompanying photos show the intensive training that the members of the Wellesley Fire and Rescue go through in preparation of rescuing someone who has fallen through the ice. Remember, the only truly safe ice is at your local skating rink!
