Just like quicksand and volcanoes, childhood movies may have convinced you that getting stuck in an elevator is a regular occurrence for adults. While it may seem like elevator rescues aren’t something our firefighters encounter a lot, they do happen more than you might think. Regular training ensures we’re ready to help when they do happen.

Check out this behind-the-scenes look at our elevator rescue training. Watch to the end to find out what you should do if you ever find yourself stuck in an elevator! Spoiler alert: it isn’t as action-packed as Hollywood makes it out to be.
