First responders and farmers in Highland and Brown Counties gained lifesaving skills during a hands-on Level 1 Grain Bin Rescue Training, emphasizing preparedness and safety in agricultural communities.
On June 23, the Highland County Farm Bureau, in collaboration with the Highland County Emergency Management Agency, the Ohio Fire Academy, and local fire chiefs, hosted a Level 1 Grain Bin Rescue Training. The following day, June 24, Brown County Farm Bureau partnered with the same organizations to provide the training in Brown County.
This program was designed to equip first responders and local farmers with the knowledge and skills necessary to safely rescue individuals trapped in grain bins—a critical safety concern in agricultural communities. The training covered rescue techniques, safety protocols, and the use of specialized equipment. Participants engaged in hands-on exercises, conducting rescues in both a grain bin and a gravity wagon, simulating real-life scenarios.
This collaboration highlights the importance of community preparedness and proactive measures to enhance safety in farming operations. By fostering partnerships between local organizations and emergency services, these trainings aimed to strengthen safety awareness and response readiness.
The meeting takes place April 1 at Meigs County Fairgrounds- Rutland Bottle Gas Building.
