 Fire Department to Conduct Ice Rescue Trainings Throughout January
The Chanhassen Fire Department will conduct Ice Rescue Training on several dates throughout the month of January. Trainings are scheduled for Jan. 13, 16, 20, and 27, weather-dependent. This will involve cutting a hole in Lake Susan to the right of the boat launch. The hole will be indicated with cones and signs until it can re-freeze.

 The Chanhassen Fire Department wants to remind residents to be careful on frozen ice and practice ice safety this winter. Make sure you measure the ice before you get out on a lake or pond.
Remember, if there is less than 4 inches of ice, stay off. After 4 inches of ice, you can ice fish, walk, and skate. Do not drive a car out on the ice until there is 9-12 inches and you need 13-17 inches before you take a truck out. Never take a heavy duty truck with a wheelhouse shelter out on the ice unless there are 20 inches or more.
