The Police Department, Fire Department, Stout Police, and the Department of Natural Resources responded to the call. The boat operator was pulled to short and CPR was administered. The Fire Department transported him to the Mayo Hospital in Menomonie. He was then airlifted to Luther Hospital in Menomonie for further treatment.
