Extreme Caution

The Mat-Su Borough Department of Emergency Services reminds our community to exercise extreme caution on local lakes and waterways as the cold temperatures settle in.  With the numerous ways people choose recreate on our waterways including ice skating, pond hockey, ice fishing, snowshoeing, skiing and snow-machining, this is a very hazardous time of the year as the ice is just forming.  Ice forms at very different rates with inconsistent capacities and those choosing to recreate on lakes and rivers must be aware of the hazards.
