FC Sponsors training for Grain Rescue Tubes



On April 4th 2013, FC donated grain rescue tubes and sponsored training for the Lake City and Yetter Fire departments at its Yetter, Iowa location.  Over 30 firefighters and FC employees were in attendance for this training. Training was conducted by Dale Ekdahl, founder of Out State Data Company, a manufacturer of grain rescue tubes based out of Elbow Lake Minnesota on how to effectively conduct a grain rescue with the rescue tubes that were provided. Members of the fire departments took turns being engulfed in the grain and using the tubes to rescue the victim. Overall all attendees really enjoyed the training and learned a lot about grain rescue. - Ahad Mujeeb; Safety Coordinator, Regions 1,2, and 3, Farmers Cooperative Company.
