As the winter freeze begins to thaw, heavy ice buildup is expected to fall from trees, power lines, and structures, according to New Albany Fire and Rescue.
Fire officials advise residents to be cautious, especially when outdoors under trees or near power lines. Falling ice and limbs pose a risk of injury and property damage.
They warn that gravity will determine where the ice and debris land, making outdoor vigilance essential during this period of warming temperatures.
Residents are encouraged to stay alert and avoid areas where ice accumulation is heavy until it has safely melted or been removed.
