Belfort firefighters were called for a blocked elevator on Wednesday evening in a building in the city.
The device had stopped 10 cm from the ground floor, with inside a woman suffering from morbid obesity and her 8-year-old child reports L'Est Républicain.
Thanks to the joint intervention of a technician, the victims were able to be released before… being sent to the hotel with the rest of the family.
The elevator could not be repaired in the evening and the released tenant, who weighs 232 kg, could not go back to her accommodation, located on the tenth floor.
The social landlord in charge of the building, Territoire Habitat, would now seek to find this family a more suitable accommodation, according to the regional daily.
