People are being reminded to never walk on frozen rivers and lakes after the tragic death of three children in the West Midlands.
Three boys aged eight, 10 and 11 died after falling into an icy lake in Solihull, near Birmingham, on Sunday - and a fourth boy, aged six, remains in a critical condition in hospital.
With temperatures expected to drop as low as -15 in some areas of the UK, Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service (TWFRS) and County Durham and Darlington Fire and Rescue Service (CDDFRS) are reminding people to be cautious around open water.
