Firefighter Rescue

This is a training video. These volunteer firefighters are preparing for the upcoming harvest season in WI. While standing in the corn in the semi trailer, the operator starts to empty the corn out of the bottom, pulling the firefighter down. Once the corn gets up to his knees, he can no longer free himself. The victim needs to be isolate from additional grain burying him further. The cofferdam provides isolation, while the rescue auger removes the corn from around him until he can climb out. My assistant, Neal, volunteered to be rescued in this drill.
