The elevator of a hotel in Hangzhou broke down and several takeaways were trapped.

At noon on August 5, it was the meal point. Mr. Wang, who worked at the Sunshine Chuangfu Center Hotel in Qiantang District, had been waiting for the takeout he had ordered before. "I have been waiting for a long time, and the takeout I usually ordered has already arrived."
What Mr. Wang didn't expect was that the takeout he ordered was already in the building, but he was stuck in the elevator... What on earth is going on?
At 12:10 noon, the Hangzhou Fire Command Center received an alarm saying that some people were trapped in the elevator at the Sunshine Chuangfu Center Hotel in Baiyang Street, Qiantang District.
Rescuers arrived at the scene and found that the elevator was parked on the first floor due to equipment failure, and the elevator door was closed and could not be opened with bare hands.
Because the internal space of the elevator is small, the ventilation facilities are poor, and the number of people is large, if it is not rescued in time, the oxygen content will decrease, which is likely to cause breathing difficulties and fainting of the trapped people.
Firefighters first used the elevator key to carry out the rescue, but the key opening of the elevator door was broken by hotel personnel and could not be opened. The team members can only use the second set of plans, using hydraulic expanders to slowly plug into the middle of the elevator door and expand to both sides. Because the gap in the elevator door is small, the whole process is more laborious. It took about five or six minutes to finally open a small hole in the door that can squeeze out the body.

With this small opening, the people trapped inside were rescued one after another. Among the 17 people, nearly ten were takeaway brothers. Some rushed out of the building to take over the next business, while others rushed to deliver the previous takeaway upstairs......

Fire to remind the general public, when the elevator trapped people accident, quietly waiting for rescue is the best way. Personnel trapped accident. You can press the alarm bell or telephone in the elevator to ask for help from the outside. When the above two methods are not feasible, the trapped person can shout for help, slap the elevator door to attract the attention of others, calmly wait for external rescue, do not forcibly open the elevator door or jump inside the elevator, prevent secondary injuries from falling, and prohibit overloading the elevator.
