2 men fell through the ice at inland lakes in separate incidents on Saturday

WAUKESHA COUNTY, Wis. (CBS 58) -- Two men were rescued after falling through the ice and into lakes in separate incidents on Saturday, Dec. 14. 

The first incident happened around 9 a.m. on Pretty Lake in the town of Ottawa. 

According to the Western Lakes Fire District, they were called for a man who fell through the ice. Nearby fisherman helped the man out of the ice by throwing a rope in and pulling him out. The fire district says they assisted the man to the nearby boat launch and placed him into one of their vehicles to warm him up. 

The man was transported to a local hospital and is in stable condition. 

The second incident happened on Wind Lake in Racine County.  It happened around 12:30 p.m. and the 36-year-old man was pulled out around 1:30 p.m. 

According to the town of Norway Fire Department, the man was able to walk about 2,300 feet before falling through. Due to the distance, they say it made it one of Racine County's longest and most complicated ice rescue. 

They say they were able to get a long rope out to him and made the rescue. The man was transported to the hospital and is in good condition. 

The fire departments want to remind everyone of the dangers of going on thin ice, and that ice conditions are very unstable throughout the winter.
