Oakland County Ice Hazards
Oakland County ice hazards were the subject of the Oakland County Sheriff’s Department in its warning to people about the dangers of thin ice. The Sheriff’s Department advises that judging whether ice is thick enough to be safe is often difficult. They recommend at least 5 inches of solid clear ice for general foot traffic, such as ice skaters and anglers, and at least 8 inches of solid clear ice for travel by snowmobiles and off road vehicles. They also recommend parents talk to their children about the dangers of ice breaking because it has not yet had adequate time to freeze to a thickness that would be safe for activities.
Pets wandering out onto a frozen pond or lake are a common cause of drowning, hypothermia, and other injuries. If a pet wanders out onto ice, resist the urge to go out after it and try to coax the pet off the ice from a safe location.
