A Casey County man rescued late yesterday afternoon after getting stuck in the cab of his tractor in the Brush Creek area of KY 49, a few miles north of Liberty.

Heavy rain throughout the day yesterday caused water levels to rise.

Casey County Emergency Management says the incident happened around 5pm. 

Water covered the tractor's wheels and he couldn't open the doors. Rescue crews worked for nearly an hour to get him in a boat and to safety.

Casey County Dispatch says the man was not injured.
