Keep Dogs (And Kids) Off The Lake!

Neighbors,
Today the Aurora FD came out and rescued a dog that had wandered out onto the lake and broke through the ice. Fortunately the dog was saved, so the story has a happy ending. Next time might not be so happy. Please don't let your dogs out unleashed in the Lake area to "do their business" -- the ice on the Lake isn't that thick and you might lose a cherished companion.

The same goes double for children. The Lake is constantly circulated and aerated, so no matter how cold the air is, the ice on the lake is never 100% solid. Please lets avoid a senseless tragedy and make sure your kids know not to go out on the ice!
