Our Ice Rescue Teams successfully rescued a dog who went through the ice and was unable to get out this afternoon near the Blair Rd Boat Launch.
At approx. 14:55, the Ottawa Fire Services Communications Division received a 9-1-1 call from the dog’s owners who reported that dog was at the end of the ice shelf in the water and unable to get out near the 300 block of Blair Rd. Upon arrival, our Ice Rescue Teams confirmed the dog was approx. 30ft from shore and struggling to keep its head above water. Our Ice Rescue Technicians quickly set up for the rescue and a rescuer made their way out to the dog with a fortuna. At 15:20, the dog, “Tika”, was rescued and safely back on land doing well.
Credit to the owners who did exactly what we always preach if this happens: Called 9-1-1 and stayed on land and didn’t try to make the rescue themselves. Our response times are fast and our Ice Rescue Teams are highly trained with the appropriate equipment. Doing this will always keep you safe and is your pet’s best chance for survival. #OttNews

@ctvottawa I travelled to my hometown country (lebanon) to get one because I had to jump through hoops and check-lists here before I could qualify for one
@matt_gray_@alexbrogan What time do you go to bed and how would you keep yourself accountable when you have a partner who works late hours and you want to spend time with them when they get back home so you feel the need to stay up late?
@_n0vatweets@blackpopgirl Same! It’s the best song to bop to when feeling down for whatever reasons. It motivates me to do my stuff even when i’m feeling sad and that it’s ok to not be 100% happy and full of endorphins when i’m trying to be productive. It was the song I didn’t know I needed till now!♥️
@penthouseheart Omg i’m so sorry I wanted to be in the present moment with her right in front me of so I stopped the video right there😂😂🥹🥹♥️♥️ I can make it up to you with more videos!!!!
@keakaleak204 @psac_afpc@AlexSilasPSAC The fact that the strike itself was a waste because it didn’t lend to anything better than the original offer pre-strike (might as well have accepted it w/out striking). And worse, that the union is trying to paint their failure as a win.
