Three anglers ice fishing near the Town of Naswaupee Wednesday evening got a scare when their UTV went through the ice on their way back to shore. Nasewaupee Fire and Rescue received the call shortly before 5 p.m. that a six-seater UTV went through the ice near the shore of Sherwood Point. According to Nasewaupee Firefighter and Public Information Officer Kyle Sheehy, two of the three men were driving off the ice to shore when they went through. They were able to get out of the water and to shore. Launching from the Potawatomi State Park boat launch, Nasawaupee firefighters were able to reach the other individual and bring them back to safety. With this being the third ice rescue in just over a week, Sheehy said this serves as another reminder that no ice is safe ice.

No one was hurt as a result of the incident, though the timeframe to recover the UTV is unknown. Sheehy added that they were able to clear the scene in about an hour.
