Emergency services responded to a situation at Nitelva in Lillestrøm, where a man had fallen through a thin patch of ice while attempting to rescue a dog. The individual ended up partially submerged in the water, with his upper body on the ice and legs in the water. Fortunately, firefighters were able to reach him and the dog, successfully pulling both to safety.

Following the rescue, a spokesperson reported that the man was transported to the hospital and the dog to a veterinarian, both suffering from hypothermia due to the cold conditions. This incident highlights the risks associated with trying to rescue animals in dangerous environments, especially during winter months when ice can be deceptive.

The fire department confirmed their involvement in the rescue operation but refrained from providing additional comments on the incident. Such occurrences serve as a reminder of the importance of caution around icy bodies of water and the possible need for professional help in emergency situations.
