OFFICIAL WARNING on ICE SAFETY !

Winter Carnivals and other winter events that use lake ice are here.  State and local officials are warning people to be concerned about ice safety.

Wolfeboro Fire-Rescue Department's Deputy Chief Thomas J. Zotti, EFO forwarded the following information for WASR to make available to area residents: 

ICE SAFETY

New Hampshire Ice Conditions Can Be Unpredictable

New Hampshire State Fire Marshal’s Office along with the NH Association of Fire Chiefs urge outdoor enthusiasts to use caution on the ice.

“Before going onto a frozen lake, pond, or river it is important to take safety precautions to reduce the risk of falling through the ice,” says J. William Degnan, New Hampshire State Fire Marshal.   As temperatures fluctuate it is very important for residents to use caution.  Walking, skating, ice fishing or other activities on the frozen bodies of water is a great way to get out and enjoy the fresh air during winter.   For those participating in recreational activities on the ice, Durham Fire Chief, Corey Landry,  and President of the NH Association of Fire Chiefs, urges common sense and asks that you follow these recommended safety tips.
