ice safety

You should always double and triple check the thickness of the ice you're going out on. Make sure that the thickness is consistent and not just thick in one area.

I had a chance to talk to Lt. Jason Mills from the Augusta Fire Department about winter safety. Yes, he from AFD, but this is good advice for all of us no matter where we live in Maine.  Bottom line...be a little extra cautious and think about what could happen!
