Confined Space Rescue January 17th 2012

Thought I would share some photos from an incident who responded to the other day.  It was a confined space rescue for an injured worker in an underground 10,000 gallon heating oil tank that was being cleaned and “filled”  
Click on the photo below to be taken to a photo album from the incident.

Below Grade Rescue

At 8:52 AM units from Montgomery County Fire and Rescue responded to a call at the intersection of Mid County Highway & Washington Grove Lane for a report of a man who had fallen into a 16 foot trench. 

It took approximately 24 fire fighters a little under an hour to remove the individual from the trench.  He was transported to an area hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
