The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation reports that Forest Rangers and Environmental Conservation Police Officers teamed up to rescue a moose that had broken through the ice on Lake Abanakee, in Hamilton County.
On Jan. 16, Division of Law Enforcement Lieutenant Robert Higgins and ECO Alan Brassard responded to Lake Abanakee, just outside the Hamlet of Indian Lake, in the Central Adirondacks, after receiving a report that a moose had broken through the ice. The Officers arrived and observed the moose in the lake, surrounded by ice, and unable to get out.
