Six fishermen rescued off ice in Little Sturgeon area

Six anglers were rescued on the ice on the waters of Green Bay in Door County on Sunday afternoon.  Brussels-Union-Gardner Assistant Fire Chief Ryan Wery says a call came in at about 2:45 p.m. that six men were stranded on a floating piece of ice that had broken away about one-fourth of a mile offshore near Big Rock Road in Little Sturgeon.  With the extremely windy and rough conditions, the U.S. Coast Guard and the Department of Natural Resources were called in to use air boats to reach the men.  The first group was taken to shore safely at about 3:45 p.m. and the rest at about 4 p.m., according to Wery.  No injuries were reported, and Southern Door and Sturgeon Bay fire departments were also present to assist during the initial MABAS call, while Door County Emergency Services and Gardner Emergency Services were also at the scene.
