FARGO, N.D. (KFGO) – The Fargo Fire Department says a man was walking across the river near Dike East around 1:30 pm when the ice broke. He was able to hold himself above water.
A firefighter in an ice rescue suit attempted to get to the man but also fell in. Crews on shore were able to pull the two back in with a tagline. The man was taken to Sanford Ambulance for care since he was in the icy water for seven minutes. Both Fargo and Moorhead police and fire departments were on the scene to assist.
The Fargo Fire Department wants to remind people to stay off the river in the winter.
