TOOELE, Utah — A man is safe after fire officials say he fell through the ice at Stansbury Lake while attempting to rescue a dog.
North Tooele Fire District said in a Facebook post the man fell through the ice on Saturday night around 11:31 p.m., outside of a residence on the shore of the lake.
“Thankfully several agencies in the area were able to respond including NTFD and Utah DNR, who both had ice rescue equipment, as well as Mountain West Ambulance, and a Tooele County Sheriff’s deputy,” the Facebook post said.
NTFD also said in the post that the TCS deputy was able to use a rope to pull the man onto shore, where he and the dog were treated.
“(Both man and dog are) expected to be okay,” the NTFD post said.
