NASHVILLE, Tenn. (RFD-TV) — Nationwide is taking new steps to improve safety in rural communities by addressing one of agriculture’s most dangerous hazards: grain bin entrapments. The insurer recently awarded life-saving grain rescue tubes and provided hands-on training to more than 60 fire departments across the country.
Laramie Sandquist with Nationwide Agribusiness joined us on Monday’s Market day Report to talk about the program — part of Nationwide’s broader Grain Bin Safety campaign — which has now equipped over 450 departments nationwide.
In his interview with RFD-TV News, Sandquist discussed Nationwide’s goal of ensuring first responders have the tools and training needed to save lives when seconds count. He emphasized that the initiative continues to receive strong support and positive feedback from both local fire departments and farm families who recognize the critical importance of grain bin safety.
