This afternoon, Byron Township Fire Dept was called in to attempt a canine water rescue and we're happy to say that we were successful in rescuing 2 labs from the ice.
Rescue 48 responded to the call and arrived on scene to find a black lab and a yellow lab swimming around a hole in the ice and staying surprisingly calm. They were unable to climb out on their own, so with the help of a ice rescue suit we entered the water and we're able to successfully remove them from the ice cold water.
Please keep an eye on your furry friends around water during the remainder of winter, especially as the temperatures increase and the ice begins to melt. Luckily there was a Mom and a son that witnessed it and were able to quickly call 911 for help. ...
