Authorities are alarmed by reports of children playing on thin ice at Hammonds Pond, urging parents to talk to their kids about the dangers.
Carlisle: The Carlisle East Fire Station is sounding the alarm after getting some worrying reports about kids playing on the ice at Hammonds Pond.
They’ve seen a lot of kids running around on the ice, and the fire station is really stressing how dangerous that can be. Frozen water can be super risky!
Firefighters and police have been keeping an eye on the pond, but it’s still concerning to see big groups of kids there, egging each other on to step onto the ice.
A spokesperson from the fire station mentioned they’ve heard from local schools about kids playing on the ice, which is really dangerous. The ice can be unpredictable and thin in spots, especially with a light frost making it hard to see.
They’re asking parents to have a chat with their kids about the serious risks of playing on frozen water. It’s important to keep them safe!
Both the fire station and Carlisle Police have been patrolling the area and talking to the kids, but they’re worried about the number of rowdy groups hanging out by the pond.
So, if you live nearby, please share this message and talk to your kids about staying safe!
