PORT MOODY (NEWS 1130) — Port Moody Fire Rescue is out with a warning that the mudflats at Burrard Inlet might look cool, but they can still be dangerous.
Fire rescue tweeted a photo Wednesday of someone being pulled from the mudflats in low tide.
They say the area is not safe when someone suddenly sinks and gets stuck, so they’re asking everyone to stay off them.
A few years ago, the department had to rescue someone who sunk up to their shoulders.
