Complete - Rescue 12/19/2023 INC#1660

Complete - Rescue ; INC#1660; 09:00PM; 701 E New Dock St; https://bit.ly/47cZkg9; #SanPedro; The adult male stranded inside the compact elevator of a dockside crane approximately 60' above ground, proved to be an elevator mechanic working on the system - and not the crane operator. LAFD responders, including those specially trained, certified and equipped to perform specialized urban search and rescue, climbed the exterior of the rain-drenched crane to a location between levels (i.e. elevator landings), where they stabilized the elevator and forced open the elevator doors. The stranded worker was medically assessed inside the small elevator (to confirm no illness or injury), before being placed into a rope and harness system to be lowered outside the elevator shaft to the next landing. He was then removed from the harness and walked down an auxiliary stairwell with firefighter assistance to ground level. He has declined any further medical care or transportation. ; FS 40; Batt 6; South Bureau; Council District 15; BC13 BC6 BT17 BT2 BT3 E238 E285 E40 E49 E5 E85 EM11 HR3 RA27 RA36 RA827 RA85 T38 T85 UR5 UR85 UR88; CH7; 12; Brian Humphrey
