An elderly man in Prince Albert received four helping hands after being trapped in a local residence.

On July 15, the P.A. Fire Department was called to a property on the 100-block of 12^th Street East.

There they found the man stuck on the second floor of the building in a motorized wheelchair.

The property’s wheelchair-accessible elevator reportedly stopped working after he had used it to get to the second floor.

Four firefighters ended up carrying the man and his wheelchair down to the main floor.
