West Midlands Fire Service has issued a serious warning about the dangers of frozen bodies of water after releasing striking images taken at Blackroot Pool in Sutton Park, Sutton Coldfield. The photos vividly capture the icy conditions, emphasizing the risks that come with walking on frozen lakes during winter.
The fire service stated clearly what they don’t want to see—people risking their safety by attempting to walk or skate on thin ice. Frozen pools and lakes can be deceivingly treacherous, and incidents involving ice rescues have been rising as temperatures drop.
Officials urge the public to stay safe by avoiding ice-covered water bodies, especially when the ice is thin or unpredictable. The Blackroot Pool images serve as a potent reminder that even picturesque winter scenes can hide serious dangers if caution is not observed.
