University of
Connecticut Call |
| On Saturday Feb
23, at 7:30 AM, our team was called out to the Univ. of Connecticut –
Swan Lake for a possible person through the ice. Piecing together
reports after the fact, it appears that students were seen walking and
skating on the lake the night before, possibly into the early morning.
It appears that at some point in the early hours, someone may have
fallen through given the fact there was evidence of broken ice in the
center of the pond. This person must have gotten out either on their
own, or with bystanders, but never notified UCONN PD or FD. Once the sun
came up, UCONN PD drove by and noticed the hole in the ice. As a
reasonable precaution they started Mansfield FD, which in turn notified
the dive team. We arrived, and noticed the hole had frozen back over
already. At this point we changed over to a search/recovery operation.
Four divers were dressed. Brett was actually put in, and did several
patterns in that area – nothing found, and no signs of anyone
underwater. Scene cleared with thanks. |
