When Ice fishing goes wrong.
Two men had to be rescued by the Rockford Fire Department when they were stranded on a slab of ice floating down the Rock River in downtown. The two men were fishing when a patch of ice broke free just north of the Jefferson Street bridge. Luckily they were able to be rescued before the ice melted.
#UPDATE Rock River Water Rescue. Two people were rescued from a large floating piece of ice from the river. The ice they were fishing from near the shore broke off causing them to float down down the river. pic.twitter.com/oyQONEVb7M
