Two boys rescued from water of the Pittock Conservation Area in Woodstock/Woodstock Fire Department
A boy of 11 has died in Milton when he fell through the thin ice of a large storm management pond in that community Saturday afternoon. His young friend was able to get out of the icy water and run for help. But it was too late. Fire and police authorities arrived quickly but it took them 15 minutes to find the boy’s lifeless body.
Woodstock boys rescued
Two boys were rescued from Pittock Conservation area water Sunday after they fell through thin ice well offshore. But they were within sight of pedestrians who called for help. One lad was still lying on the ice and the other was up to his chest in water as the Woodstock Fire Department launched rubber rafts to make the rescue.
