The Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service reminds everyone to be cautious around ice-covered bodies of water including rivers, streams, creeks, ponds and ditches.
The Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service received nearly 100 water and ice safety calls in 2011, and initiated full search and rescue efforts for 30 of those calls.
Be safe Winnipeg!
