The only ones capable of intervening
Given the location where the elevator got stuck and its configuration, the intervention of these specialized firefighterswhich often operate in mountainous environments, was deemed necessary. The SPMP men began by reconnaissance of the elevator shaft before setting up a lifting device to evacuate people trapped on the fifth floor of the building.
The occupants of the elevator are all escaped unharmed.
