Mylo Kramer was ice fishing on Beaver Bay west of Linton in March. Ice conditions changed rapidly while Kramer was fishing due to an ice jam close to Bismarck. Another man and his dogs were also fishing close by. When Mylo noticed water washing onto the ice, he and the other man tried to move north to get off the ice, however the ice had broken from shore. They later discovered they were surrounded by water, with no cell service. Luckily, Ryan Ohlhauser, who was above the Bay, saw the washout and called 911. Ryan Ohlhauser and Jared Gefre are both members of the Linton Fire Department. Both men utilized wet suits and swam with an inflatable boat to get to the men. It was now dark out and the ice island was further from shore. Using the boat Ohlhauser and Gefre were able to get the two men and two dogs back to shore. It was the first time the Department had utilized this equipment.
