Be careful as frozen lakes, ponds melt
As the weather begins to warm up, and frozen ponds and lakes unthaw, the Sheriff’s Office Marine Services Unit is urging the public to be extra cautious:
• Never go out on a frozen lake, retention pond, or other waters. Don’t play on the ice along the shore. Even though it appears solid, ice in Western Washington doesn’t get thick enough to support the weight of an adult or even a child.
• Parent and caregivers should never leave children unattended near ice.
• If you witness someone fall through the ice, never attempt to make a rescue by yourself – call 911. Be sure to give your exact location and an account of the situation. Try and throw a life ring, flotation device or rope for the victim to hold onto until emergency help arrives. If the victim manages to get out, dry them off and keep them warm until emergency help arrives.
• If you see others playing on the ice, warn them of the dangers or call 911.
