Firefighters have urged people to "stay well away" from frozen bodies of water after confirming that a pet dog had sadly died after falling through the ice of a frozen lake in the North East.
The dog was pulled from the freezing water by Cleveland Fire Brigade after the ice broke underneath it on Hemlington Lake, Middlesbrough, but was sadly unable to survive the ordeal. When called to the scene, the Fire Brigade said that they had seen several children attempting to walk on the ice just days after the Solihull tragedy.
Three boys aged just eight, 10 and 11 were confirmed to have died after falling through the ice on Babbs Mill Lake in Solihull on Sunday, while a fourth boy, aged six, who was placed in intensive care after the incident, also tragically lost his life on Wednesday. Fire chiefs have since warned against the dangers of walking on frozen water amid the recent sub-zero temperatures.
