More people are heading to the lake as temperatures rise, leading to more calls for help
PEORIA, AZ — Lake Pleasant is a popular recreational area throughout the year, but as temperatures rise, the dangers of drowning and other injuries increase.
Last year, Peoria Fire and Medical Department put up signs reminding people to wear life jackets and use caution on and around the water. First responders are urging people to wear life jackets. There are loaner life jackets around the area people can pick up. There has already been at least one incident at the lake this month, according to MCSO. A man jumped from a boat to retrieve a hat from the water and never resurfaced. Officials say the man was not wearing a life jacket.
