PEORIA — The Fourth of July weekend is one of the busiest for Peoria Fire and Medical on Lake Pleasant. On Saturday morning, crews were out bright and early, putting up signs to urge safety and talking with boaters as they went out onto the lake.
Already this year, Bernard said seven people drowned at Lake Pleasant. Just last week,a man's body was recovered from the lake.“It’s disappointing and saddening every time I get a notification that there’s another drowning here at Lake Pleasant,” Shafer said. “Then, you go back and look at the data and information, after the investigation is complete, a lot of the time, if they had a life jacket on, they’d still be alive today.
First responders urge people to wear life jackets. There are loaner life jackets around the area people can pick up.
