A fisherman spent part of Thanksgiving morning being stripped of his soggy clothing after he tumbled into the waters of a local lake. Santa Rosa firefighters Matt Schillings and A.J. Alcocer rescued the man, who was spotted clinging to his capsized kayak at Nagasawa Community Park off Fountaingrove Parkway. The man was helped out of his clothes to be warmed up by blankets and heaters after falling into the 50-degree water. He was then taken to Kaiser Permanente Santa Rosa Medical Center.
