A crew from Los Angeles Fire Department Station 69 extinguished an elevator shaft electrical fire at 881 Alma Real Dr. on Friday, Oct. 20.
In true heroic form, the team also rescued Palisadian-Post Editor-in-Chief John Harlow and a Federal Express worker from the lift after the pair spent nearly 30 minutes trapped inside.
On-scene LAFD Firefighter Brian Koneva told the Post that the fire was caused by a badly worn out motor.
