Man Rescued After Falling Through Ice

Emergency responders were called to multiple ice-related incidents over the weekend. In Yates County, New York, a person fell through the ice on a pond in the Town of Milo, requiring a rescue by the Penn Yan Fire Department, who administered CPR before the victim was transported to hospital. Meanwhile, in Oakland County, Michigan, a 66-year-old man fell through the ice while ice fishing, leading to a dramatic rescue by a neighbor who kept the man afloat until firefighters arrived; the man remains in critical condition. In Rochester, Minnesota, another individual fell through thin ice at Foster Arendt Pond but was safely rescued by bystanders prior to emergency services' arrival, with no injuries reported. These incidents have prompted authorities to issue warnings about the dangers of venturing onto frozen water due to rapidly changing ice conditions. Residents are urged to exercise caution as warming temperatures and recent rain have compromised ice safety.
