All Day Class
Grain Bin Rescue - Professional Rescue Innovations
-This class is designed to raise awareness about bin-rescue procedures and equipment, will provide extensive hands-on training. Participants will gain experience working in grain bins and using technical rescue equipment, such as ropes, harnesses, carabineers, mechanical-advantage systems, anchorage points, cofferdams, breathing apparatus, tripods, and victim packaging. They will experience first-hand an actual engulfment and the pressures involved on their body. Participants will get their hands dirty. We will be simulating engulfment, and actually be pulling people out of grain, just like in a rescue situation. We’ll be packaging people and pulling them through the roofs of bins, working at heights, and building cofferdams in grain. We’re going to show how time-intensive and how difficult these things can be. Hands-on will be accomplished using a mobile grain bin simulator trailer.
The morning EV Class and afternoon Auto Extrication, as well as the morning Ag Rescue and afternoon Ag Emergency Care classes are meant to compliment each other, but can be taken separately if the student chooses.
