Serious injuries avoided in Atchison grain rescue

(KAIR)--A rescue Friday morning at Atchison's MGP Ingredients.

Atchison Fire Chief Ted Graf tells MSC News it involved an individual who became trapped in grain in a storage facility.

Although it happened at MGP, Graf says the incident stemmed from subcontract work, and the person rescued was a subcontractor.

Graf says the man was freed and was evaluated by Atchison County EMS.

He suffered no serious injuries, and refused transport for further medical treatment.

Graf says the Atchison Fire Department was notified directly by MGP shortly after 10:00.

He said his office was aware that the work, that led to the short entrapment, would be conducted Friday morning.
