ASHLAND, Wis. — Firefighters in Ashland rescued people out on a windy Chequamegon Bay Thursday.

Fire officials said wind and a deflating raft got the two people stuck about 400 yards from shore.

The winds were so bad that the nearby Solstice Outdoors was not renting kayaks.

Firefighters used a resident’s boat to rescue one of the victims.

The other person was rescued by kayak.

Nobody was injured.
