The London Fire Brigade said it had taken 'several 999 calls over the last few days' alerting them to children and dogs walking on frozen ponds and lakes
Avon and Somerset Police also issued a safety warning on Saturday evening after taking"multiple calls" about children playing on a frozen pond, while Lincolnshire Police urged parents to make sure their children are aware of the dangers."Never assume that the ice is thick enough to support you," it said.
"It may look sturdy enough to stand on, but it often isn't and can be of variable thickness especially as you move away from the edge."London Fire Brigade said firefighters are trained and have specialist equipment to rescue those who do get stuck on, or in, an icy lake. "So if you see a person or an animal in difficulty don't put yourself at risk by going in after them."Related Topics
