Utah firefighter plunges into partially ice-covered pond to save dog, video shows
2024-01-16
Got his Cold Water Rescue cert.
[FoxNews] A Utah fire district has released video of a firefighter plunging into an icy pond to rescue a dog that was stuck in the frigid water and unable to climb out over the weekend.

Firefighters with the North Davis Fire District responded to Steed Pond in Clearfield after a dog named Bob found itself trapped in the partially ice-covered lake, fire officials said.

"Bob the dog loves the water but the ice shelf prevented him from being able to get out after his polar plunge," the fire district wrote on Facebook.

A firefighter named Logan put on a dry suit and was hooked up to a rope rig before crawling across the snow-covered ice on the lake toward Bob, who was able to keep his head above the freezing waters.

Logan’s crewmates readied themselves on the banks and once he grabbed a hold of Bob, they pulled the pair over the ice shelf to safety onto the more solid ice. Bob was seen shaking off the cold water and running toward his owners.
