The Beltrami County Sheriff’s Department has completed the rescue of 35 people who were stranded on the ice of the Upper Red Lake. Authorities say the anglers became stuck on ice that broke away from the shore on Sunday. An airboat was used to bring people to safety.
Last year first responders had to rescue around 200 people from a piece of ice that broke free on Red Lake.
The Minnesota DNR says there is no such thing as 100 percent safe ice but the general rule is a minimum of four inches for ice fishing….5-7 inches for a snowmobile or small ATV….11-12 inches for a medium SUV or small truck….16-17 inches for a heavy-duty truck.
