Earlier this year FDMJ was chosen by the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau to receive a grain rescue tube, a rescue auger, and training at no cost. The grant was part of the Nationwide Grain Bin Safety Week program.
Today FDMJ and a crew from Maytown Fire took part in the training on this new rescue system. The training was conducted by the National Education Center for Agricultural Safety and was held at a local farm. This farm had a grain bin rescue earlier this year and we had to call a neighboring department for this specialized rescue system. With that history and the amount of grain bins and silos in our area this will be a very valuable tool for us to have. Thank you to Nationwide Insurance and David Ginder for the use of his farm and grain.
