Share the Talk. Save a Child's Life – Frozen doesn’t mean safe

One wrong step on thin ice can lead to tragedy. Talk with kids now about ice safety—and help prevent the next rescue call.

 

  • Teach children to stay back from all frozen waterways and never play, skate, or walk on frozen ponds or waterways. No ice is ever completely safe.
  • If someone falls through ice, call 911 immediately and wait for trained responders.
  • Cold water shock can happen in seconds, even for strong swimmers.
  • Protect pets, as they can break through ice just as easily as people.
  • Fire departments train for ice rescues—but prevention saves lives.
