Three humans fall in water trying to rescue dog

HARWINTON — Three people fell through the ice while trying to rescue a dog Saturday afternoon, but all were fine — including the dog.

According to the Harwinton Volunteer Fire Department Facebook page, about 3:30 p.m. Saturday, a call came in for people in the water at the pond at the recreation/ conservation area at Routes 4 and 118.

A dog had reportedly ventured onto the thin ice and fallen through, and three people ended up in the water attempting a rescue. The post said the would-be rescuers were out of the water with some help from bystanders upon the fire department’s arrival.

All three humans were transported by Harwinton Ambulance to Charlotte Hungerford Hospital to be evaluated for possible exposure or other injuries. The dog also safely made it out of the water.
