Grain Bin Rescue in Wisconsin
When someone gets trapped in a grain bin, most of the time, they don't get out alive. Considering that, here is good news from Wisconsin (from Wisconsin Ag Connection via FireFightingNews.com).
A Madison man spent nearly five hours up to his neck in soybeans Wednesday after a workplace accident left him trapped in a grain bin. According to authorities, the accident happened at a grain terminal in McFarland owned by Landmark Services Cooperative....
Firefighters couldn't just pull him out of the bin, because they had to shore up the beans around him to prevent a soybean avalanche. Firefighters had to cut three holes in the back of the grain bin to let out some of the soybeans and relieve some of the pressure.
It's nice to hear of a successful grain bin rescue.
