3 workers rescued from manhole in Greenfield
GREENFIELD, Ind. (WISH) — Firefighters rescued three workers Monday morning after they became stuck in a narrow manhole and one fell semi-unconscious.
The Sugar Creek Township Fire Department said on social media that their crews, the Hancock County Technical Rescue team, and other fire departments were called to the 2200 block of West Bedrock Lane around 8 a.m. for a confined space rescue.
That street is in a suburban development off County Road North 200 West just north of U.S. 40 in Greenfield.
First responders arrived and found the three workers. Medics lowered an oxygen mask to the semi-conscious worker to stabilize their condition. The workers then climbed out of the manhole with a little help from firefighters on the scene.
One of the workers was taken to the hospital for additional treatment.
It wasn’t clear what the workers were working on or how they got stuck in the manhole.
RIPLEY COUNTY, Ind. (WSBT) — A statewide Silver Alert has been issued for two young children in Indiana.
Police in Ripley County, southeast of Indianapolis, are looing for the children who may be siblings.
The first child is 3-year-old Aaliyah Buckingham.
She was last seen wearing a pink cat shirt and tie-dye shorts.
The younger child is 1-year-old Shane Buckingham, last seen in a red shirt and diaper.
Police think both are with 45-year-old Timothy Buckingham, who was last seen driving a brown GMC truck.
Timothy is described as a 6′ 3″ white man weighing 225 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes.

Anyone who sees the three are asked to contact the nearest police department.
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A firefighter for the Indianapolis Fire Department was sent to the hospital Wednesday after battling a fire at a vacant house.
According to a Facebook post made by IFD, the fire happened around 10:15 a.m. at a house on Bluff Rd. IFD says that there were several complications, including limited access to fire hydrants and “interior hoarder conditions” that IFD says was due to squatters.
The injured firefighter received “slight injury,” the Facebook post said.
It took over an hour and a half to get the fire under control, according to IFD, and another hour to put out all the remaining hot spots in the building.
According to IFD, the cause of the fire is currently unknown. Their Fire Investigations Unit is working on figuring out what caused the fire.
