Lake users asked to be aware of signs of drowning this holiday weekend

There were five drowning deaths on Candlewood Lake this season and as the busy Labor Day weekend approaches, lake users are being asked to be aware of the signs of drowning.  New Fairfield officials note that drowning is silent.  Some signs to look for include hair over the forehead, head tilted back, unable to call or wave for help, body in a vertical position or making a motion underwater like they are climbing a ladder.  This is the last weekend that the town beaches in municipalities around the lake will have lifeguards on duty.
