One young person tried to smash the ice with a branch while another slipped around nearby
Firefighters are warning of the dangers of going on frozen water after a group of young people were filmed messing around on an icy lake in Derbyshire.
In part of the video footage, one young person can be seen trying to break the ice with a branch while another slips around on the ice close by.Jessica Chadwick filmed the young people at Kirk Hallam Lake in Derbyshire "As you make your way from the edge, the ice becomes thinner making the chance of falling through into the freezing water below highly likely."Miss Chadwick, who lives next to Kirk Hallam Lake, filmed the young people on Thursday afternoon, shortly after a nearby school had closed for the day.But despite this, she still saw three more young people on the lake on Friday morning."They even hang off the trees and use the trees as a jumping device to jump up and down to break the ice.
The lake is next to Kirk Hallam Community Academy and the young people are thought to be pupils there."The academy wrote to all parents and carers on Monday 12 December, providing a clear warning about the dangers of frozen water," he said. In the neighbouring county, Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service said it had attended several incidents involving icy water in the past few days.
