Good morning, Lakers! We have another freezing cold weekend ahead of us so Chief McGinnis & Sgt. McHugh (both ice hockey enthusiasts) went out to Beach 1 to check the ice and want to share some ice safety tips.

❄️ ICE SAFETY REMINDER ❄️
Our Community • 22 Lakes • One Priority: Safety
Red flags are up and all children must be supervised!

⚠️ No ice is ever 100% safe
🧊 Check Ice Thickness
4"+ walking / ice skating

🌡️ Be Extra Careful After
Warm weather
Rain
Snow cover (hides weak spots)

🚫 Avoid Dangerous Areas
Inlets & outlets
Docks & shorelines
Moving water, springs, vegetation

👥 Go with a Buddy
Never go alone
Tell someone where you’re going

🧰 Carry Safety Gear
Rope or throw bag
Whistle
Life jacket or float suit

🐾 Protect Pets & Kids
Keep pets on a leash near ice
Children need supervision at all times

🚨 If Someone Falls Through
Call 911 immediately
Stay low, spread weight
Use a rope or long object—don’t stand at the edge

📍 Conditions Vary
Each lake is different—even on the same day

❗ When in doubt, STAY OFF

Best of luck to all of our USA Olympic teams, especially USA Hockey and those representing the Philadelphia Flyers!

Please share to help keep everyone safe this winter 💙
