TRENDING STORIES:
The PCWRT was called to assist the Ravenna Township Fire Department in getting Emma out safely.
The PCWRT said they respond to calls like animal rescues involving ice because owners or bystanders often go out onto the ice to save them and end up falling in themselves.
“If the ice can’t hold an animal it surely will not hold a human. The PCWRT will gladly assist in these rescues as we have the trained personnel, ice rescue suits, and divers that are specially trained to dive under the ice in case a would-be rescuer goes through or under the ice,” the post read.
Emma was successfully rescued, resulting in a positive outcome to a scary situation!
