Norman County Receives Rescue Auger

You’ve probably heard about times that someone gets trapped in a grain bin or elevator.  The Norman County Soybean and Corn Growers Association has bought a rescue auger to be used to rescue someone in that situation.  Shelly Fire Chief Dave Swenson, who’s also Assistant Norman County Fire Chief, tells us what inspired the purchase of the rescue auger.

Swenson says the rescue auger is something you want to have just in case an emergency comes up.

A rescue auger can get grain out of a bin or elevator much faster than trying to scoop the grain out.
