Authorities caution against dangerous play on ice after reports of children in Bolton
Bolton: So, there’s been a bit of a scare in Bolton. Police are sounding the alarm after spotting kids playing on a frozen pond. Not cool, right?
They took to Facebook to remind everyone that this kind of fun can be super dangerous. I mean, it could end badly, and nobody wants that. They even shared some tips on how to stay safe around frozen water.
Apparently, the pond in question is Dixon Green fishing pond in Farnworth. Thankfully, it seems like no one got hurt this time. But still, it’s a serious situation.
The police said, “We’ve had reports of kids on a frozen reservoir.” They really want everyone to understand that walking on ice can lead to tragic outcomes.
They kept it simple with their message: “Stay safe, stay off the ice.” It’s a no-brainer, but sometimes people need a little reminder.
This warning comes after some pretty chilly weather hit the area, with snow and freezing temps causing all sorts of trouble. Canals and lakes are frozen solid, and roads are a mess.
But hey, the good news is that temperatures are expected to rise a bit soon, with a high of 5C on Sunday. So, let’s hope everyone stays safe until then!
