A fire fighter wearing a dry suit was approaching the man when he fell through the ice.
The man was able to pull himself out of the water and then assisted off the ice.
MD Ambulance said he sustained minor injuries and was transported to St. Paul’s Hospital.
Fortunately no one was badly injured, but the fire department said this serves as a reminder to never walk on the ice no matter how thick you think it may be.
