Chengdu, Sichuan: 20 People Trapped in Emergency Rescue such as Fire Fighting

(Reporter Liu Zhongjun) At about 21:00 on July 6, an elevator in a community in Liujiang Street (Baojiangqiao Community), Jinjiang District, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province suddenly broke down. 20 people were trapped in the elevator, including 3 children. The situation was urgent.

It is understood that the failed elevator ll is located in 2 buildings of a residential area at 255, Section 3, Jinhua Road, Jinjiang District, Chengdu. At the time of the incident, the elevator was traveling upward from the first floor. The sudden failure caused the elevator to get stuck between the first floor and the negative first floor. "There are 17 adults, 1 child and 2 children in the elevator. After entering the elevator for a long time, they didn't close the door. After the door was closed, they moved and then stopped. There was no response when they pressed the button to open the door and go up and down." A resident of the community trapped in the elevator said that there were many people in the elevator, coupled with the hot weather, and the lack of oxygen soon appeared. Everyone quickly called 119 and 110 for help.

After receiving the police, the public security police and fire rescue forces rushed to the scene to rescue the trapped people. After the rescuers arrived, they used tools to pry open the elevator door and found that the elevator was stopped between the first floor and the negative floor, unable to carry out rescue. "Quickly notify the elevator maintenance personnel to come to the scene to assist in the rescue." The police and fire rescue personnel at the scene asked the residential property personnel to contact the elevator maintenance personnel.

Soon, two firefighters ran into the hall with oxygen cylinders on their backs, quickly opened the oxygen valve and delivered oxygen to the elevator. "The elevator maintenance personnel are already on their way here. Don't worry, everyone. Drink some water first." Firefighters used propaganda to understand the situation of the trapped people, while calming the anxiety of the trapped people, and used a string to deliver mineral water to the elevator.

"I'll go to the computer room and put the elevator down so that the door can be opened." "The computer room is on the top of the 34th floor and can only be climbed up on foot." The elevator maintenance personnel who arrived at the scene said that and walked to the stairwell. At about 22: 10, "the elevator has moved and is heading down." At this point, the scene of the rescue workers quickly from the first floor to the negative second floor.
