What to do if you're trapped on ice antiochfire enjoyantioch antiochilpd illinoisdnr
Experts caution never to be fooled by weak or thin ice, and not just as temperatures rise. Still, two or three times every season, Antioch Fire Department surface rescue personnel wearing exposure suits respond to local calls after someone falls through.
"They were out the day before and had no problems," according to Cook."As soon as they got to the middle, one guy fell through." Rescue crews couldn't reach them on foot due to weak ice conditions, and an air boat ultimately was used to retrieve the men. According to the University of Illinois Extension, ice across a pond is seldom uniform. Water movement and snow cover can cause big differences in ice strength within a short distance.
Ice formed in the past few days usually is stronger than old ice that may have thawed and refroze over several weeks or appears cloudy, he added.
