Thin ice is a big issue this year. Yesterday, rescue crews pulled out another person that fell threw the ice on Pemaquid Pond in Damariscotta.
Last week saw multiple ice rescues as well, Vassalboro had two boys falling through while trying to cross Outlet Stream, an Oxford man went through on Thompson Lake in Oxford while skating, and the other day a Princeton man was rescued from the icy waters of Long Lake.
Due to varying weather conditions this winter, game wardens are reminding everyone to be cautious and check ice conditions before venturing out. Due to uneven temperatures and high winds this season, ice conditions are currently very unpredictable.
