Roads get snowy and icy this time of year, that's why we have plows, deicer and sanders to make those roads drivable. But for one neighborhood just south of Newman Lake, neighbors claim those roads aren't treated nearly as much as they should be. Although the hill on Campbell Rd is sanded and plowed now, neighbors say that's not normally the case.

San Diego firefighters responded to a construction site Wednesday to extricate an injured worker from a trench.

The male construction worker was in a 10-foot-deep trench at about 11 a.m. pumping water out when a piece of metal shoring came off and struck the man and injured him. The trench did not collapse, but the injuries made it impossible for him to extricate himself, 911 Video News reported.

Battalion Chief Tommy Charpentier said rescuers had to go into the trench, immobilize the victim and lift him out of the trench using the department’s aerial ladder.

The rescue took about one hour. The victim was transported to a local hospital and his status is not known at this time.

Grand Blanc Fire Department has some new tools thanks to a recent grant from the Grand Blanc Community Fund, WNEM.com reported.

The department will have a battery-operated positive pressure fan, which can be set up by one firefighter to quickly clear smoke from inside a structure, the report said.

Two sure-foot safety platforms, which attach to roof ladders, were also bought with the money, according to the report.

More new equipment came by way of a private citizen, along with Elga Credit Union, Frankenmuth Credit Union, 100 Club, and the Grand Blanc Chamber of Commerce.
