Officials across the Miami Valley are warning of icicle dangers as the snow continues to melt today.

News Center 7's Kate Bartley spoke with the Moraine Fire Department about the dangers falling icicles may present.

"It's going to create a big icicle and that could create damage, or there have been cases where it could be fatal if it hits somebody," said Doug Hatcher, Moraine Fire Department fire inspector. "If you do have a lot of icicles and you can't reach them, you want to mark that area of if it's around a sidewalk or door or somewhere like that."
