The ride stopped at the Forest County Festival in Crandon, about 370 miles north of Milwaukee.
People were stuck on the Fire Ball ride for three hours while first responders worked to get them off safely.
“All we know is there was a mechanical problem with the ride that caused it to stop in an upright position,” said Capt. Brennan Cook of the Crandon Fire Department. “The attraction was recently inspected by the State of Wisconsin here on site and we have no other information at this time.”

A festival goer posted an image on Facebook showing people hanging upside down - he says they were in that position for four hours.
He said the little girl who was stranded asked firefighters to rescue the elderly man "because he was struggling."
