Grain Bin Rescue in Iowa

Man was moving grain when crust gave way

Police

Multiple agencies responded to a grain bin in West Burlington, IA, after reports of a man needing to be rescued, reports KWQC.

Firefighters arrived to find the man up to his armpits in a grain bin that was about two-thirds full.

The man had been working to move the grain out of the bin when the top crust gave way sending him down into the grain.

Firefighters used a grain tube to stabilize him inside the bin.

After grain was removed from the bin, the man was able to walk to a waiting ambulance. He was then transported for evaluation.
