TORonTO FIREFIGHTERS RESCUE MAN AFTER ELEVATOR FREEFALL

Toronto firefighters rescued a man from an elevator at a residential high rise at 88 Bloor Street East on January 15, after the unit went into freefall because one of its five cables snapped, the Toronto SUN is among news outlets to report. The man stepped onto the elevator on the 14th floor when the incident occurred. Firefighters rappelled several stories down the shaft from the 14th floor to gain access to the car. The man was fastened to a harness and taken to paramedics on the 14th floor. He was not hospitalized. A spokesperson for the Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA), which oversees elevator safety in Ontario, observed the elevator “was never in an uncontrolled descent,” and the emergency brake performed properly. TSSA is examining the unit.
