"The Beltrami County Sheriff's Office and other first responders arrived on scene and discovered a large portion of the ice with up to 30 yards [27 meters] of open water stranding the fishermen," Chief Deputy Jarrett WaltonSome of the group had not even realized the ice floe had snapped free.

The alert "allowed notifications to be sent to cell phones of those who are not enrolled in the local notification system and provided GPS coordinates of the evacuation site," the sheriff's department said."A number of apparatus were deployed including airboats, water rescue boats, ATVs, drones and a temporary bridge," the sheriff's department said.
