THUNDER BAY -- A middle-aged man was rescued late Friday night after becoming lost in an abandoned grain elevator.
Thunder Bay Fire Rescue crews, with paramedics on standby, responded and made adjoining co-ordinated search effort.
Three teams of rescuers dispatched to the elevator, which fire officials did not identify. They began at the roof, where nothing was found, and proceeded down a level, where after an extensive search, the man was located and brought down to "very happy" family members, a TBRF spokesman said in a release.
Firefighters advise the public they should not trespass on the property, which includes several dangerous and life-threatening openings throughout the structure.
Two pumpers and eight firefighters attended the rescue, which began at approximately 11 p.m.
