City Issues Warning Over Ice Conditions

The City and it's Fire Department reminding you that the ice conditions on lakes and rivers may not be safe.

It's a timely warning after a rescue on the Saint John River last weekend of a snowmobiler who went through the ice.


Communications Officer Leah Fitzgerald tells CHSJ News firefighters had to go down a very steep drop with ropes and ladders to get onto the ice.


She says it was a harrowing rescue as some firefighters and one police officer did fall through the ice but managed to get out quickly and were not hurt.
To check on ice conditions at Rockwood Park...call 658-2908.
