East Enterprise FD was dispatched on 4/9 at 7:10 pm to Allensville Road for a person stuck in a grain bin. With the assistance from Jeff Craig FD, Moorefield FD, Switzerland County Emergency Response, and some local farmers/relatives the person was successfully removed from the bin at 9:00 pm. The person was freed using a grain bin rescue system and was able to climb out of the bin under his own power. If you have not seen this system before the yellow pieces are a tube that is placed around the person and then the corn is removed from inside the tube. The blue pieces you see in the corn is to help distribute the weight of the rescuers so they do not sink into the corn. Thanks to everyone who assisted!
