Warning from Regina Fire Department after ice rescue in Lakewood

The Regina Fire Department is telling the public to stay off frozen bodies of water.

The warning comes after somebody was rescued Wednesday night from the pond behind Doug Wickenheiser Arena in the Lakewood area.

Deputy Chief David Kinvig said the person was walking in the area when she fell through the ice at about 7 p.m.

He said she was conscious and should be fine. EMS crews still examined her.

Kinvig said it has not been cold enough for the ice to thicken and many ponds in the city are aerated.
