Thin ice warning

The rescuers warn the citizens about the danger of being on the thin ice of the aquatic basins in the country, in the context in which in the next days the air temperature will oscillate between minus and plus values.

According to the General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations, the deterioration of thin ice endangers the lives of those on it. The ice layer becomes a danger to fishermen and minors in winter especially when the air temperature fluctuates between minus and plus values.

It is strictly forbidden for people to get out on ice if the layer formed does not exceed 8-10 centimeters.

Minors are most at risk of collapse. To avoid such tragedies, parents are warned not to let their children play on the ice, but also around lakes and rivers.

If people fallen under the ice are observed, rescuers urge people to call 112 immediately.
