It was a busy day for the FDMJ volunteeers. At 11:55 this morning Engine 75-1 and Truck 75 were dispatched to assist Mastersonville Fire Co on a barn on fire. The truck made the response and the crew staged until being released.
Shortly after being released the truck was added to a gas leak covering for Elizabethtown Fire Dept Station 74.
After arriving on scene at the gas leak Station 75 was dispatched to Rapho Twp. for a person stuck in a grain silo. The truck was released from the gas leak and made the response to the rescue.
Deputy 75 arrived to find a male stuck in corn up to his arms inside a grain bin. Additional resources were requested from Rheems Fire Department, Columbia Borough Fire Department Station 80 and Maytown-East Donegal Township Fire Department. Crews utilized a coffer dam carried on Rescue 70 to secure the corn around the man and then were able to remove it so he could be freed. Once removed he was evaluated by PennMed 1 and transported to the hospital as a precaution.
