BARRINGTON, R.I. (AP) — Fire officials say three teenage boys are in the hospital after falling through an icy pond in Rhode Island.
Rescue crews responded to Brickyard Pond in Veterans Memorial Park Monday evening in Barrington.
Lt. Edward Owens says one boy pulled himself out of the water and called 911 around 6 p.m. Crews rescued two other boys about 75 yards off shore who had been there about 10 to 15 minutes.
Officials say the boys had been skating after dark.
All three have been taken to an area hospital. Their conditions have not been released. Authorities say the boys were able to get to the ambulance on their own.
A firefighter was also hospitalized for hypothermia after falling through the ice.
Owens says signs are posted prohibiting skating on the pond.
