On the evening of Christmas Eve, the Jackson Fire Department was alerted to a worker trapped inside a hopper at a local factory. Jackson Police Department, Jackson County EMS, Jackson Sheriff’s Office, Liberty Fire, and Jackson Fire units, including Jackson’s Rescue, Tower, and two engines, responded to the scene.
The worker was attempting to retrieve a dropped cell phone when he fell approximately 10–12 feet into the hopper, landing on powdery material. While trapped, he recovered his phone and called 911.
