Lexington Fire Department warns public to stay off frozen ponds and creeksLEXINGTON, Ky. (ABC36 NEWS NOW) – The Lexington Fire Department is warning residents to stay off frozen ponds, lakes and creeks as cold temperatures move through the area. Officials say while freezing weather may cause ice to form on bodies of water, the ice can break without warning and may not be strong enough to support a person’s weight. Officials say cold water shock can be deadly within seconds. If someone falls through ice, officials urge the public to call 911 immediately and warn against going onto the ice in an attempt to help. Emergency crews say it is safer to wait for trained responders with proper equipment to handle ice rescues.
