On Monday, January 24, personnel from Stations 14 (Burke) and 41 (Crosspointe), A-Shift conducted ice water rescue training to reinforce techniques and best practices. Rescuing a person fallen through the ice and firefighter self-rescue were highlighted.
We want to remind Fairfax County residents that they should NOT use nearby ponds, lakes, or any type of waterfront, that appear frozen, to walk, skate, or play on. Appearances can be deceiving! Use indoor/outdoor ice rinks to skate. Your FCFRD firefighters and paramedics hope they do not have to use the skills that were practiced Monday!
Also playing on frozen ponds/lakes is prohibited in Fairfax County Park Authority parks. Please Stay Off the Ice!
