DILLON \u2014 After a woman and her dog fell through the ice earlier this week, officials are warning residents that melting ice in and around Summit County\u2019s waterways can be dangerous.<\/p>\n

At about noon Monday, the Summit County Sheriff\u2019s Office and Summit Fire & EMS responded to a report that a dog fell through the ice and into the water at the Snake River inlet to Dillon Reservoir. In an attempt to rescue the dog, the owner also fell through the ice. Both the dog and owner were uninjured.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough I am highly confident of the skills and training of my staff in ice rescues, this incident could have had a very different outcome,\u201d Summit County Sheriff Jaime FitzSimons said in a news release.<\/p>\n

According to rescue workers, the dog was fine by the time they arrived but two people had gotten themselves into trouble.<\/p>\n
