A teenager’s fall through the ice on Cumberland’s Maple Lake is serving as a reminder on how to play it safe during a winter cold snap.
Cumberland’s Deputy Fire Chief Stephane Dionne said he received a call at around 3 p.m on Sunday to respond to Maple Lake. When Dionne arrived at the scene, a teenager had crawled out of the lake already, having fallen into five-feet deep water, five feet away from the shore, said Dionne.
