Specialized Rescue - Cow in manure pit PDF Print E-mail
Written by Carmine Prestia   
July 2, 2008
 
   
EMS was dispatched to a farm at 3760 W. Whitehall Rd. to standby while the farmers went into a manure pit to get a cow out.  The family grandmother noticed the cow fall into the pit while she was in the garden. The pit was half full of manure at the time the cow fell in.

EMS arrived on scene and realized that this was confined space and that there were no self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) for the farmers going into the space.
