NEW EQUIPMENT AND MORE TRAINED VOLUNTEERS will help accomplish the tasks of grain bin rescue and confined space rescue -- The new equipment and training will also help by utilizing ropes and other items to conduct more technical rescues such as high angle rescue and low angle rescue, says Plattsmouth Volunteer Fire Department Lt. Jon Hardy. Now the Plattsmouth and Manley VFDs have grain bin rescue cofferdams (above). If an incident occurs in a taller grain bin, Hardy says the advantage rescuers have now is that the Plattsmouth and Manley grain bin rescue cofferdams are connectable. (pic provided by PVFD)
