(From the Joplin Police Department)JFD Station 5 & 7 personnel utilized their technical rescue skills today to remove an individual from a stalled cargo elevator stuck between floors at a local industry.
Efforts to recall the elevator were unsuccessful and resulted in having to remove the occupant through the elevator shaft to floor 3. Working in tandem with the emergency response team from the facility, crews were able to utilize ropes and rigging to safely remove the occupant.
This incident highlights not only the all hazards training and capabilities of our firefighters but also the relationship we have with our industrial partners that work and train to also handle these highly technical incidents. The occupant of the elevator was not injured.
