Candlewick Lake Public Safety
WEEKLY REPORT - Week ending 1/12/15
Rescue CallsPublic Safety responded to three (3) medical calls this past week. All subjects were transported to the hospital.
Barking Dog/Loose DogPublic Safety responded to six (6) calls involving dogs barking or dogs running loose. Please pay attention to your pets and their outdoor activity. The frigid weather affects them also.
SnowmobilingPublic Safety responded to two (2) snowmobiling complaints this past week. Please remember: snowmobiles are not allowed on the roads, parks or on common ground.
Cars in DitchesPublic Safety responded to ten (10) calls of a car in a ditch this past week. To the best of our knowledge, there were no injuries. Please remember to slow down when driving on snow and ice. I suspect it is possible; none of these vehicles were exceeding our posted 25 mph speed limit. It does not take much speed to lose control of your car in these conditions. Once your 4K lb. car goes into a ditch, it takes quite a bit to get it out.
Please slow down while driving through CWL this winter. Check your tire tread depth and tire pressure. Poor tire quality and low pressure contribute greatly to loss of control while driving on snow and ice.
Sledding on the DamPublic Safety asked several youths to leave the dam after they were found sledding from the top of the dam. Please remember: it is against the rules to sled from the dam.
Traffic AccidentPublic Safety responded to a traffic accident on Caledonia Road north of the Maintenance garage for a vehicle which had lost control and departed the roadway. The vehicle went through the fence and over two trees. Fortunately there were no injuries. I strongly suspect the occupants were wearing seatbelts. BCSO investigated this incident.
VandalismPublic Safety responded to a vandalism call in the 100 block of Queensbury Place. The house was unoccupied at the time. Please call Public Safety if you see anything suspicious
TrafficPublic Safety responded to a call of a vehicle leaving the roadway, entering a driveway, striking a boat trailer and landing in the front yard. Due to the snow, they could not get out. BCSO was summoned. Subsequent to an investigation, a DUI arrest was made. The arrestee was fortunate to have not been injured.
