It's one of the most dangerous situations in the ag industry. Now, there's a training tool for Kansas firefighters and grain elevator workers.

The Grain Engulfment Rescue Trainer is on display at the Kansas State Fair in Hutchinson. It simulates what happens if someone gets trapped in a grain elevator.

The Kansas Fire and Rescue Training Institute travels the state with it. The institute trains firefighters and grain elevator employees how to rescue workers who may be trapped.

The training is free and available to any fire department or grain facility in the state.
