Cargill recently donated a RESQ-tube to the Mississippi County Rescue Squad. The RESQ-tube aids in rescue during a grain engulfment, when a person has fallen into a grain bin. It is designed to stop the flow of the grain toward the victim and block any additional pressure that may be created from rescuers as they are performing the rescue. Pictured from left are Wayne Essner, operations with Cargill; Jake Ressel-Lead, personnel with Cargill; Danny Harris, director with the rescue squad; and Denis Rapert, assistant director with the squad.
