Overview
- Mukwonago Fire Department led a multi-agency ice rescue Monday afternoon after cries for help were reported.
- Crews arrived about 3:25 p.m.; victims were removed at 3:39 p.m. and 3:41 p.m., according to officials.
- A woman walking near the lake directed responders to the location roughly 400 feet from shore.
- Both were taken to Waukesha Memorial Hospital for hypothermia care, stayed overnight for observation, and are expected to fully recover.
- Access to the remote lake required a half-mile walk-in approach, and two off-duty firefighters, Mike Ludwig and Scot Laab, assisted on scene.
