🚨 ICE SAFETY ALERT — PLEASE READ! 🚨 As the temperatures drop, it’s essential to remember that no ice is 100% safe. Even if a pond appears to be frozen solid, the ice thickness can vary greatly due to underlying currents, springs, temperature shifts, and snow cover. This means that what looks like a safe, solid surface may not be able to support the weight of a child, adult, or pet.

To stay safe, keep the following tips in mind:
• Avoid frozen ponds, lakes, and creeks altogether.
• Keep a close eye on children and pets, and make sure they stay away from iced-over water.
• Never attempt to rescue someone who has fallen through the ice on your own – instead, call 911 immediately.
• If someone does fall through the ice:
– Call for help right away
– Reach or throw a rescue device, such as a rope or ladder, to the person in distress – do not go onto the ice yourself
– Keep a safe distance and use a long object to assist the person if possible
• Educate kids about the dangers of ice, even when it looks safe, to help them understand the risks and make smart choices.

Remember, it’s always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to frozen bodies of water. Stay safe, and stay informed!

Santa Stayed in Lapel!

It seems Santa wasn’t quite ready to head back to the North Pole after celebrating Christmas in Lapel! Instead, he stuck around Lapel Stony Creek Twp. Fire Territory and made the most of his extended stay.

He started by hitting the gym with the crew, showing off his strength and fitness skills. Then, he headed to the pool table to showcase his talents and have some fun. But that’s not all – Santa even swapped roles with the Fire Chief for the evening, getting a taste of what it’s like to be in charge.

As a true hometown fan, Santa cheered on the Lapel Bulldogs, sporting his team spirit and enthusiasm. And, of course, he couldn’t resist taking some glamour shots with the fire engine, which will surely make for perfect Christmas cards next year!

Thanks for the holiday fun, Santa! You’re welcome to come back anytime and join in on the community spirit. ❤️
