Chief Jerry Minor with Brownfield’s Larry Lee
Firefighters from around Wisconsin practiced handling farm-related rescues and incidents Saturday.
Pittsville chief and trainer Jerry Minor says their goal is to keep emergency responders safe when they respond to on-farm emergencies. “Farm accidents are not something we do every day so they’re an infrequent thing but the dangers they present to fire and rescue personnel are significant.”
Minor says the training involved five different scenarios that commonly happen on farms including a tractor rollover rescue, silo rescue, grain bin rescue, and equipment extrication.
