PULASKI COUNTY, Ind. -- A 9-year-old was rescued after he became trapped by a grain wagon Tuesday evening, according to the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office.

The first deputies who arrived on scene used past grain bin rescue training to stabilize the child using metal sheets.

Medaryville Fire arrived just after that and worked with the deputies to use a grain cage to remove the settled corn from around the child before he was pulled from the wagon.

EMS then evaluated the 9-year-old for any injuries.

On the evening of 9-27-22 Pulaski County Deputies Alec Berger and Aaron Zimmerman were dispatched to a 9 year old entrapped by grain in a grain wagon. Deputy Berger arrived first on scene and was able to utilize past grain bin rescue training to stabilize the child using metal sheets preventing serious possible injuries common with grain accidents. Medaryville Fire First Responders arrived shortly after, working together with Deputies Berger and Zimmerman, were able to use a grain cage to remove the settled corn from around the child before extricating the child. The child was then checked by Pulaski County EMS, who were also on scene. Great job by Deputy Berger for assessing the situation and using his experience to begin stabilizing the child and also to the Medaryville Fire Department for freeing the child putting their technical rescue training and skills to work.
