BEMIDJI, Minn. — Two men were rescued after their four-wheeler broke through ice a mile from the southeast shore of Upper Red Lake. Buoyant ice suits kept them afloat until bystanders pulled them out of the water. The men, both 67, were taken to the Bemidji hospital for hypothermia. One man had a broken hand. Sheriff Jason Riggs said the area had been marked as unsafe since 122 people had to be rescued two weeks ago from an ice floe that broke away. Even so, authorities have had to rescue a half dozen rescue calls since for people who became stranded or broke through the ice.
