A very close call for a Wellesley Township farmer.

Regional Police say around seven last night, police and fire responded to a report of a man trapped in a silo on Streicher Line.

Police say the 43-year-old called out to his son when he felt himself being overcome by gas.

Police say he was successfully rescued by firefighters and it does not appear he needed medical attention.
