“Here’s the problem - as temperatures rise this weekend, the ice will get thinner, and will be more prone to cracking underfoot.
“Please speak to the youngsters in your life and urge them to stay well away.”
There have been numerous reports of youngsters playing on ice in Doncaster despite Sunday’s tragedy which claimed three lives.
Fire crews were called to Shaftholme on Monday after teens were spotted on frozen water while children have also been seen playing on a frozen pond in Rossington.
