PHOTO: Emergency crews spent more than seven hours Thursday working to rescue someone who became trapped in a grain bin in southern Livingston County. Gridley fire and ambulance crews were called to the farm in rural Gridley around 12:10 p.m. for a victim who became trapped in the bin, said Gridley Fire Chief Casey Knobloch. Multiple emergency departments responded to the incident that was resolved at 7:55 p.m. when the person was extricated from the bin. Knobloch said the victim was in stable condition and taken to a local hospital. The MABAS (Mutual Aid Box Alarm System) Division 25 based in LaSalle joined in the nearly day-long rescue effort, according to a social media post from the Normal Fire Department [NFD].
