On Thursday, crews from the Seattle Fire Department answered calls for a rope rescue in a high-rise building near the intersection of Fourth Avenue and Union Street in Seattle.
According to SFD, a power outage in the building shut down all the elevators and trapped three people near the sixth floor.
The people were trapped in an area that had no door access, forcing rescue crews to rope down to reach them.
SFD said that the closest elevator access point was on the 21st floor.
Crews were able to set up a rope rescue platform from the access point and rappeled roughly 200 feet down to reach the elevator.
After communicating with the three people, they were secured with a harness and pulled up one by one.
SFD said that no one was injured.
