Stuck in an elevator? Weyburn Fire Chief offers advice

Over the past week, the Weyburn Fire Department has responded to two calls at two separate locations about a person who was stuck in an elevator. Fire Chief Trent Lee said it is very rare the WFD does get a call about a person trapped in an elevator, but it does happen from time to time.
