Public Reminded to Stay Off the IceWith warmer weather in the forecast, Thunder Bay Fire and Rescue is reminding residents to be extra careful around bodies of water and rivers, as Fire crews have responded to both people and pets on the ice in the last week.
“Walking on the ice in the Thunder Bay harbour is not permitted,” said Deputy Fire Chief Greg Hankkio.

Cold Water and Ice WarningWith the winter weather now upon us, Thunder Bay Fire Rescue is encouraging parents, guardians and teachers to speak to their children about the dangers of walking on ice-covered bodies of water and the risk of injury or death associated with exposure to freezing cold water.
Ice conditions throughout the winter should always be considered dangerous, but they are especially dangerous early in the season as thick ice has not yet formed.
Fire Chief Concerned Over Recent Fire DeathsIn less than a three-week period, Thunder Bay Fire Rescue had four fire deaths as a result of three separate fire incidents. The first death occurred on October 15 in a fire at a town house on Trillium Way, the second and third death resulted from a mobile home fire on October 28 on Taylor Drive, and the most recent fire death occurred in a house fire on November 3 on Walkover St.
