Rapid response of rescue teams in Burgas

An incident with a happy ending took place in the "Vazrazhdane" district of Burgas. A baby became trapped in the elevator of a residential building after the doors closed suddenly, leaving the child alone inside.

The call was made to 112 at 9:00 AM. The child's mother attempted to unblock the door herself before seeking professional help.

How did the rescue operation proceed?

This case serves as a reminder of the increased caution required when using elevator facilities. We remind you that on April 1st, a similar rapid response by the police in Yambol prevented a tragedy involving a three-year-old child hanging from an eighth-floor balcony.
