The Minneapolis Fire Department rescued a woman trapped on ice on the Mississippi River Saturday, a reminder that regardless of its appearance, venturing onto ice is always dangerous especially on a river.
Fire crews arrived at the riverbank near West River Road and S. 26th Street about 12:30 p.m. and found the woman stuck on a shelf of ice, according to a Fire Department statement.
She had fallen through the ice after going out after her dog, the department said. Both the woman and the dog fell through the ice into the water. The woman pulled herself up onto the shelf of ice.
