A dog has died after jumping into a frozen lake, and firefighters have issued a warning after children walked out onto the ice. Firefighters saw a number of children walking on ice when they arrived at the scene to rescue a dog that had fallen into the freezing water, reports TeessideLive.
They have issued a stark warning after four young children died when they fell into the water of a frozen lake last weekend. A spokesperson for Cleveland Fire Brigade said: "We have just attended an incident involving a dog that has fallen through the ice on Hemlington Lake. Whilst our crews were in attendance children were seen trying to walk on the ice.
"Frozen ponds and lakes may be very tempting to walk or play on but please stay well away and do not put yourself or anybody else in danger. We’d like to encourage our communities and partners to share this message, as well as the StayWise poster.
