Silent 119 Call Leads to Rescue of 9 Trapped in Elevator

Here is today's first hot topic.

A 119 emergency call came in, but no sound could be heard on the other end.

In a situation that could have easily been dismissed as a prank call, the 119 dispatch center did not ignore it, leading to the safe rescue of citizens trapped in an elevator.

According to the Jeonbuk Fire Service Headquarters, a call was placed to the 119 integrated dispatch center on the evening of July 6.

However, no voice was heard.

The caller was trapped in an elevator in a six-story building in Wanju-gun, but due to poor signal reception, they were unable to speak. It could have easily been dismissed as a misunderstanding or a false report.

However, the 119 dispatch center sensed that something was wrong due to the repeated silent calls.

They sent a text message to the caller.

Through this, they learned that the person was trapped in an elevator.

After pinpointing the location, they dispatched a rescue team.

The rescue team safely rescued 9 citizens, including 5 children, from the elevator that had stopped between the first and second floors.
