(KNSI) – Firefighters had to rescue two people who went into the frigid waters of Ann Lake Friday evening.
The Sherburne County Sheriff’s Office says the men were brothers, 63 years old and 59. They took a flat-bottom boat onto where ice had formed and then pushed off into open water about 200 feet from shore.
When they were done, the brothers attempted to transition back from the water to the ice when they fell out of the boat. They cried out for help and were heard by a man who had let his dog out. He dialed 911.
Zimmerman/Livonia Fire District personnel reached the men and pulled them from the water, and the two were taken to the hospital for further evaluation.
