This week, the Carol Stream Fire District conducted ice rescue training at Veterans Lake, sharpening their skills to respond to winter emergencies. The Carol Stream Park District is proud to support first responders by providing a realistic training environment where they can prepare for situations that could save lives.
While our community heroes are trained for ice rescues, we hope they never have to use these skills. The best rescue is the one that never has to happen. That’s why we’re reminding everyone to stay off the ice—no ice is safe ice! Even if it looks solid, changes in temperature and water movement can make it dangerously unpredictable.
Thank you to the Carol Stream Fire District for their dedication to keeping our community safe!
