[Read more] Boulder Reservoir is still completely covered in ice. There is no water access at this time.Boulder Fire Rescue reminds public of ice dangers Boulder firefighters and rescue personnel would like to remind the public that, despite recent freezing temperatures, there are significant dangers associated with venturing onto lakes, ponds and creeks that may appear frozen. The Front Range is susceptible to rapidly fluctuating temperatures, which can lead to unsafe ice conditions. Although ice may appear to be thick in some spots, it is likely to be much thinner over other parts of the water and may not be capable of supporting weight. People are urged to stay off ice on any natural bodies of water in the City of Boulder unless the area has been posted and approved for ice-related recreational activities. Pet owners are reminded to keep their dogs safe by using a leash to prevent them from going onto the ice. If your animal falls through ice, call 9-1-1 immediately so that emergency personnel can respond. Do not attempt to go onto the ice or rescue your animal yourself. If the ice was not thick enough to support your pet, it will not be thick enough to support you. Last Updated on Friday, 05 February 2010 09:30 |
