• Jamestown first responders rescue four after vehicle breaks through the ice
Rescue personnel and first responders brought four people to shore after a Snow Bear, a tracked winter vehicle often used for ice fishing, went through the ice on Alkali Lake north of Jamestown at about 8 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 15, according to Chad Kaiser, Stutsman County sheriff.
"Two adults and two children crawled out a hatch on the roof and stayed on the roof," he said. "The water was 6 or 7 feet deep but the roof was still out of the water."
Kaiser identified the driver as Dale Fettig, who could not be reached for comment Friday.
