Emergency crews were called out to McGuire Lake Thursday, Dec. 16 about 9:30 a.m. trying to determine if someone had fallen through the thin ice.
Crews investigated and determined that it was a false alarm as no evidence of someone breaking through the ice was found.
Fire Chief Brad Shirley said multiple footprints could be seen on the surface of the lake and he issued a warning that the ice is still thin and no one should be walking on it at this time.
Two holes seen near the edge of the lake were where Shuswap Search and Rescue had been doing training exercises the night before.
