An ice floe detached on a lake in northern Minnesota on Friday evening, causing over 100 fishermen to be rescued.
Beltrami County Sheriff’s Office reports that 122 fishermen were stranded when Upper Red Lake’s ice floe detached.
During the rescue attempt, four people fell into the water but they were safely brought back onto the floating ice and warmed in a fishing shelter, according to police.
Those four were the first to be rescued.
During the rescue, emergency responders realized some fishermen may not have been aware they were on the ice floe, so the emergency management team sent an alert with instructions of how to evacuate,
