Lewis & Clark County Search and Rescue says ice is extremely dangerous right now and people are urged to stay off it.
(1st Report, 1 p.m.) A dog was rescued after it fell through the ice on Lake Helena on Friday.
It happened at about 11:30 a.m. The dog appears to be a large black lab. He fell through the ice several dozen yards from the shore.
Animal Control and Fish, Wildlife and Parks were among the first responders to arrive.
Lewis & Clark County Search and Rescue was called in to assist with the rescue.
MTN was told that the ice is too thin to attempt a sled rescue without a drysuit.
Once crews were suited up and out on the ice they were able to pull the dog to safety just before 1 p.m.
There is no word yet on whether the dog has a family.
