Personnel with Cape Girardeau Fire Department, Jackson Fire Rescue and Sikeston (Missouri) Department of Public Safety hold a trench-collapse rescue drill Wednesday in Cape Girardeau. Struts were lowered into a trench to stabilize boards along its sides so rescuers would be able to retrieve a victim buried by dirt. The drill took place on a property at the corner of Mount Auburn and Bloomfield roads next to Cape Girardeau Fire Station No. 2. The departments hold the simulation once a year, noting the type of incident is high risk but low frequency.
