A woman was rescued from an elevator that stopped working.
Fire and rescue crews were called to a building at 820 Belmont Bay Drive at 9:14 a.m. There they found the woman trapped inside an elevator inside the six-story condominium complex.
“FD [Fire Department] secured the evaluator equipment and then accessed the 3rd-floor elevator door to release the trapped victim out of the elevator. The elevator was not aligning correctly with the door forcing the FD to assist in opening the door. A brief power outage may have contributed to the incident but this cannot be verified.”
— Matt Smolksy, Prince Willaim County Department of Fire and Rescue spokesman
An Otis Elevator technician arrived on the on scene before the fire department left and was checked for issues, added Smolsky.
