London, Ont. fire crews help rescue boy from surface of frozen backyard pond
“Especially this time of year, or even like the winter we’ve had, no ice out there is really safe ice, and you can’t tell by the look of it what it’s going to do when you step out on to it or venture out onto it,” Britton said.
With the toboggan spreading his weight out, Britton says the situation could have been much different had either the boy or his mother attempted to go onto the ice. “My understanding is the pond wasn’t too deep, it was probably only 2 to 3 feet deep. But it would have been enough, probably, where the child would have been submerged and trapped underneath the ice.”“Probably couldn’t understand why all these people were showing up in his backyard, but it all ended well, and the children and their mom went off to hopefully enjoy the rest of their day.”
