Kansas City Firefighters Rescue Police Officers Who Got Stuck In Elevator

Twelve Kansas City police officers suffered a tragedy on April 27 when they got stuck in an elevator. There were no injuries, but egos were seriously bruised.

Here’s the dirt of the story:

The Kansas City Missouri Police Department has a friendly rivalry going with their fellow firefighters, because well…why not? Both are rescuers and public servants who help save the day. So, when 12 heroes needed to be rescued themselves, the fire department was more than eager to help.

According to CNN, the officers became trapped in an elevator at the police academy when they exceeded the weight limit. Then, they needed to humbly call the fire department for a routine rescue.

The only serious injuries documented were the ones the boys in blue took to their pride. In a statement released by the Kansas City Missouri Police Department, they said the following on Facebook:

It’s okay boys, even the heroes among us become damsels in distress every now and then.
