Technical/Grain Bin Rescue Training

This course is taught in partnership with the specialists and experts in the field from Mid-Plains Community College in McCook, Nebraska.  This is our third year sponsoring this amazing team, and these skills form these trainings have manifested in real-world emergencies each year.

The training for this course begins in the classroom discussing the challenges, and the dangers of grain bin emergencies, and the lessons learned from those events. It then moves to the drill ground where specialized techniques, and technical rescue skills are employed and drilled to gain proficiency in order for agencies to have the ability to safely respond and rescue victims. Along with the grain bin we will be incorporating high angle and low angle rescues from our training tower.

The specialized training structure features a simulated grain bin and utilizes a training manikin that is sucked down into the structure, simulating a fall into a grain bin. Emergency responders will be trained on how to setup a rope system with proper entry into the grain bin, how to separate the product from the victim, and then raise/remove the victim from the bin, while incorporating the use of the rescue wall, and proper air monitoring techniques.

Rescuers will know the types of bins they may encounter, the dangers associated with specific designs, the mechanics of bins, how to operate a safe and successful rescue/recovery, and including the safest methods for cutting a bin and where the grain will go.
