“Unfortunately, it’s that time of year again. The local bodies of water appear to be frozen enough to walk on by people and dogs alike. IT IS NOT SAFE FOR ANYONE TO WALK ON THE ICE!
Yesterday around 4pm Everett Fire crews responded for a dog in the Malden River in Everett. Upon arrival two members donned survival suits before entering the frigid water and ice. The ice was too thin to walk on, but thick enough to require the members to slowly break thru to reach the little dog.
The members then had to navigate their way back thru the ice and frigid water to shore. Crews were standing by to perform resuscitation measure on the dog. Sadly, the dog succumbed to their injury.
Though the outcome was not the one we hoped for, members of the Everett Fire Department, Everett Police Department and Cataldo Ambulance went above and beyond to attempt to save the dog’s life and should be proud of their efforts. (FF Dylan D’Ambrosio and FF Patrick Neary in the water).” -Everett Fire Department.
