The rescue was similar to one last week in Wisconsin, where 66 people were stranded on an ice floe in Lake Michigan.
Many anglers didn’t realize the ice had separated from the shore until they heard yells and sirens, the Star Tribune reported.
A large group of fishermen had been fishing in individual fish houses when the ice that they had been on separated from shore. The Duluth Fire Department got the call. The Coast Guard, the St. Louis County Sheriff's Rescue Squad and the Duluth Police Department provided assistance.
