Blackout

摘要

It was late in the tour and we were returning to quarters when the dispatcher informed us to respond to a stalled elevator. We were only a few blocks away from the location and noticed that the traffic signals weren't working during our response. Radio traffic was heavy, so we waited to notify the dispatcher of the problem. Entering the building, we noticed how dark the hallways were and realized there was also no power. Figuring we had an isolated blackout-most likely only a few blocks in area because of a transformer or manhole fire, we went about our job. The power to the elevator was still shut down, and we removed the victims from the stalled car.
