On march 30, 1999, fire de-partment of New York (FDNY) Rescue 2 was special-called to an alarm for a man with his arm stuck in a machine in Queens, New York. While responding, members learned via department radio that the man was stuck in a pizza dough kneading machine. On arrival, I was informed that Ladder Co. 155, the first-due truck company, had removed electrical power to the machine and had employed air bags to attempt to lift one roller apart from the other. Since there was no space for the roller to lift, these initial attempts were unsuccessful. The air bags were left in place to stabilize the roller, since it was on top of the victim's right arm.
