MADISON, Wis. – First responders in Dane County are warning people to stay off the ice after several people fell through Friday morning.
A representative from the Dane County Sheriff’s Office said accidents happened on Lake Wingra, Mudd Lake as well as Crystal Lake. In each situation, a person fell through the ice in places where it could not support their weight.
“It might look good right now, but it’s really not safe,” said Elise Schaffer with the Dane County Sheriff’s Office. “We just really need to be mindful that it’s been warm just a few days ago.”
