41消防部门接收谷物救援管

来源：全国

每年，成千上万的农民和商业谷物处理人员通过进入谷物垃圾箱来消除丛生或腐烂的谷物来冒着生命。随着农村社区已经过得愉快，谷物垃圾箱的意外迅速致命。在短短秒钟内，成年人可以在流动的谷物中沉入腰部，使它们完全被困在没有适当的救援设备的情况下。这些事故每年导致数十个失去的生命，2019年和2020年初由于收获而飙升。

To lead the fight against these all-too-common accidents, the country's leading insurer of farms and ranches,Nationwide, in partnership with the National Education Center for Agricultural Safety (NECAS), is awarding 41 fire departments across the country with life-saving grain rescue tubes and hands-on training to prepare them to respond when grain accidents occur.

2014年,全国范围的我nitiated its Grain Bin Safety advocacy campaign to educate those entering grain bins about the hazards involved and the importance of implementing safe entry procedures. A central piece of the campaign, the Nominate Your Fire Department Contest, aims to address the lack of specialized resources available to rural fire departments who are responding to bin entrapments. With 2020's donations included, Nationwide has awarded grain rescue tubes and training to 152 fire departments in 30 states.

After receiving 1,006 nominations in this year's contest, Nationwide and its partners are proud to award grain rescue tubes and training to the following 41 fire departments:

"We began our Grain Bin Safety campaign in 2014 to support the agriculture community and put an end to avoidable deaths from individuals entering grain bins without recognizing the dangers and taking precautions," said Brad Liggett, president of Nationwide Agribusiness. "Thanks to the generous and increasing support of our partners, I'm extremely proud to say that we're providing more rescue tubes and training to first responders this year than we have ever before."

NECAS, based out of Peosta, IA, will deliver the tubes and training to the winning fire departments throughout 2020. Since 2014, four fire departments have put their rescue tubes and training to action by rescuing workers trapped in grain bins.

According to United Press International reports, grain bin deaths spiked last year and in early 2020 due to last season's wet harvest. In February 2020, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue brought a national spotlight to Nationwide's efforts by proclaiming Feb. 16-22 as National Grain Bin Safety Week.

“在进入垃圾箱时遵循适当的安全预防措施是重要的，”Liggett说。“我们的目标是继续这些努力，直到我们可以确保每个农村消防部门都能获得这些关键救援资源。”
