It does not happen to others and it would be a shame that your evening Christmas Eve be wasted because you stayed stuck in an elevator broken down, arms laden with gifts and champagne. The Paris firefighters explain the procedure to follow if such a mishap happens to you so as to avoid an evening Santa Clause is garbage.
Advice to follow
First of all, we don’t panic, we keep calm.
Press the door open button. “It often happens that the doors end up on one floor and do not open automatically due to a technical defect,” explain the Paris Fire Department.
If the doors are permanently blocked, then press the call button which will put you in touch with the maintenance technician. If you cannot reach him thus, call him on your telephone by dialing the number written inside the cabin.
Once online, give them the address and booth number.
“Wait for the technician and do not call the firefighters, that does not justify an emergency intervention”, indicate the latter sometimes called for anything and everything.
Do not try to get out of the car by forcing the doors or the ceiling: you risk electrification or find yourself in an awkward position if the elevator starts again.
