In Case You Missed it – Trench Collapse

Always a big worry when responder go a trench collapse to try and not become a victim themselves. Seems that this incident was a least safe for the responders. Looks like Atlanta FD handles the job well.
From Fox News Atlanta: There was a trench collapse in Atlanta near I-75 with one worker left dead. This incident was aided by the use of a vacuum truck, probably the best way to remove dirt from a collapse. My Fox Atlanta has some videos and a report on the story

I have used this system and it really works. (I am in no way associated with Rescue Vac) From their web site, the Rescue Vac is the fastest and safest collapse, entrapment, and engulfment rescue system in the world. Info here at Rescue Vac Systems They also have some video on their site on how this system works.
