Shortly after 4:00 pm today, the Kelowna Fire Department responded to a report of a person that had fallen through the ice.

The first arriving crew found a man and woman with a dog, all of whom were out of the water and on dry land near a small partially frozen pond in the 3800 block of Gordon Drive.

A bystander had reportedly helped the man out of the water before emergency crews arrived.

Fire crews and BCAS assessed the man and woman. Patients were wet and cold but uninjured and neither was transported to hospital.

Two engines, an ice rescue team and a command unit including 11 fire personnel responded to this incident.

The Kelowna Fire Department would like to remind people that due to spring weather, ice conditions are not safe. If you see someone fall through the ice, call 911 immediately.
