In Denver, emergency personnel came to the rescue of a Frito-Lay plant worker on Monday after the individual reportedly took a fall of about 40 feet into a corn silo. Luckily, the worker only sustained minor injuries.

The Denver Fire Department posted on X shortly after noon, mentioning that its teams, alongside the technical rescue crew, were addressing a “confined space incident” following the fall of a person into the corn silo.

The agency reported the location as a Frito-Lay plant on 37th Avenue.

According to a subsequent update by the fire department, it was clarified that the employee was not trapped within the corn nor had they reported any injuries. Instead, the employee was atop the corn and required assistance from above to be safely removed.

The employee was able to put on a rope and harness, which was lowered by the department’s team, and ultimately was lifted out of the silo.

PepsiCo, which owns Frito-Lay, provided the following statement to affiliate KDVR.

We acknowledge the incident involving our employee earlier today at our Frito-Lay facility in Denver. The employee was promptly attended to for minor injuries and is anticipated to be okay. We prioritize safety and are examining the incident per our usual protocols. Our operations and products were not affected by this event.

The Denver Frito-Lay plant opened in 1947, according to the Texas State Historical Association.
