Urban Park Rangers rescued two teens who fell through thin ice at Indian Lake in Crotona Park on Tuesday.
The Parks Department says A 14-year-old female and 15-year-old male were pulled out of the water by the Rangers using rescue ladders.
They say FDNY, EMS, and NYPD responded to the scene and both teens were ok after the incident.
The NYC Parks Department says the best way to stay safe is:
Do not attempt to walk on any lakes, ponds or rivers that appear frozen.
Parents and caregivers should make sure children are never unattended near ice.
If you hear cracking, lie down immediately to try to distribute your weight.
If you witness someone falling through ice, never attempt to make a rescue by yourself: call 911 and notify the proper authorities. Be sure to give the exact location and an account of the incident.
