flag Officials warn against ice activities due to unsafe conditions, following child fatalities.

flag Officials across Central Virginia and Indiana are warning residents against walking or skating on frozen ponds and lakes due to dangerously unstable ice, despite recent cold snaps. flag Multiple incidents, including a 4-year-old’s death and an 11-year-old’s fatal sledding accident, highlight the risks. flag Experts stress that ice can be weak from moving water, snow cover, or fluctuating temperatures, making thickness unreliable even with several inches. flag Authorities urge avoiding all frozen water, using safe sledding areas instead, and calling 911 immediately if someone falls through. flag Training exercises by fire departments emphasize safe rescue techniques, while officials advise staying calm and lying flat if trapped in icy water.
