Medic 6 and Ladder Co. 6 responded to a business on Fish Hatchery Road, where an employee said they were working on top of a conveyor belt when they fell into a cardboard compactor baler. Cardboard landed on the patient and their foot became trapped. After the cardboard was removed, the patient was able to free their foot. Medic 6 and Ladder 6 brought one of their ground ladders to the patient. The patient was placed on the ladder, and the crew used the ladder to pull the patient out of the machine. Paramedics transported the patient to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
