Person who fell through ice while fishing saved by battalion chief
LINCOLN, Nebraska (KETV) A Lincoln Fire Battalion Chief helped save a person who fell through ice on a lake Sunday night.
Investigators say the person was ice fishing on Holmes Lake when they fell through around 5:30 p.m. Firefighters arrived and found that person about 30 yards from the shoreline, hanging on to an ice shelf.
Battalion Chief Lloyd Mueller put on an ice rescue suit, grabbed a rescue line and went out to help the person onto an ice rescue board. After securing them, firefighters back on the shore helped pull both of them to safety.
