“At approximately 11:15 we received a call for two people who had fallen down an elevator shaft. We responded in approximately three minutes, we found two victims in the elevator shaft. One was on top of the elevator, the second one past the elevator in the elevator pit. The first victim was removed immediately. The second victim was a little more difficult operation, he was underneath the elevator, we had to secure the elevator, set the brake. We sent our members and Rescue Paramedics down below to treat that victim. We had to breach a wall and set up a mechanical advantage in order to lift the person out of the elevator pit which was approximately 10-15 feet below the car,” said Deputy Assistant Chief Sarrocco on the scene of a confined space rescue at 700 Exterior Street in the Bronx.
FDNY EMS Division Chief Flynn said “ We had two patients, one serious and one critical that were transported to local area hospitals. For this operation we had our Rescue Paramedics, EMTs and Paramedics working in conjunction with the Firefighters to accomplish removal of that second victim.”
