The U.S. Coast Guard and local firefighters are warning residents after multiple fishermen fell through the Lake Erie ice on Thursday.
The U.S. Coast Guard Marblehead Station responded to a call at about 9:50 a.m. after two people fell through the ice with their ATV.
Crews found the fishermen about a half-nautical mile off Catawba Island. According to officials, they were able to pull themselves from the water and were seeking shelter in an ice shanty.
The U.S. Coast Guard led them from the ice to EMS crews who were waiting on land.
The Catawba Volunteer Fire Department also issued a reminder, stating that first responders had responded to two separate calls Thursday morning for fishermen falling through the ice.
