The Beaver Dam Fire Department rescued a man who was stuck on Beaver Dam Lake Tuesday morning after falling through the ice and calling 911. According to a press release from Beaver Dam Fire Department Capt. Lee Smith, the 911 call came in at 5:37 a.m., but the person on the line was not communicating with dispatchers and then the call was disconnected. Dispatchers were able to plot the call to the Beaver Dam Lake west of Sunset Bay Drive near Fish Camp boat landing about 200 yards from the shore. Dispatchers attempted to call the phone number back and were unsuccessful. At approximately 5:46 a.m. they were able to make contact and the caller reported he had fallen through the ice near a heave on the lake. He was able to get out of the water and was on the ice but unable to make it to shore.
