Firefighters freed a worker who was trapped up to his waist in a train car full of coal at a facility in Bridgewater Tuesday.
While he was trapped the man was able to speak with rescuers and did not appear to be seriously hurt.
"He is in no distress at this time, alert, conscious breathing talking to us the entire time, just unable to remove himself," Bridgewater Deputy Fire Chief Glen Grafton told NBC10.
The victim was working on transporting coal used for making bricks at the Stiles and Hart Brick Company, Inc, where the owner says he's worked for four years.
“We’re terribly sorry it happened. We take care of our employees," owner Lincoln David Andrews said.
Grafton said his department was called to the business on Cook Street around 9:20 a.m. and called in the Plymouth County Technical Rescue Team when they realized the call was beyond the scope of their abilities.
