Firefighters responded for a dog in the Malden River in Everett around 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 28, according to the Everett Fire Department.

Upon arrival, crews waded through the frigid water and ice, which was too thin to walk on but thick enough that firefighters had to break their way through it to get to the dog.

Additional crew members tried resuscitating the dog onshore, but were unsuccessful. The department is using this tragic tale to remind people to avoid walking on frozen bodies of water that are not safe enough to tread.
