New GRA building elevator malfunctions
Four employees at the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA)’s Camp Street location were yesterday trapped in one of its elevators.
Kaieteur News understands that the persons were trapped around 09:15hrs yesterday. They spent approximately 90 minutes within the confined space until they were rescued by ranks of the Guyana Fire Service. According to Fire Chief Marlon Gentle, the men had to pry the elevator doors open with hydraulic openers, after which it was easy to get the persons out safely. The process was completed quickly, once the firemen had arrived.

According to several employees, this is not the first time the elevator has malfunctioned with persons inside. One employee stated that he knew of three such instances.
