With temperatures below freezing now for several days in a row, ponds and lakes are iced over in some spots across Kansas. Local emergency crews are warning people about the dangers this could bring to you and your family. “If you fall through, then you risk obviously hypothermia, but one immediate risk is when you fall through, if the water is deep enough, and your head goes under, it can cause your body to shock,” says Lt. Taylor Parlier, Rose Hill Police Department. Bitter temperatures across Kansas keep firefighters busy patrolling large bodies of water. The ice poses danger to anyone who comes near it, especially children and animals.
