Brings back such memories. NYC firefighters are hot. When I lived in NYC, if a fire truck was parked on 9th Avenue next to a grocery store, we (me and girlfriends) would go into the grocery to see the firefighters. Truly made our day. Thank you. Glad you are okay.

That's what FDNY does every day in NYC. Got a problem; call us.

Are we now occasionally getting two Diary stories in one day?
If so, hooray, that's what I call a Happy New Year!! Thank you, NY Times!

I was once stuck in an elevator (OK, for not as long as SHE was), and kept on ringing the alarm bell and shouting. After they got me out, some young woman told me "We kept hearing that ringing, and we didn't know what it was".

People will react differently in this situation. I was stuck in a freight elevator for 20 minutes and the help phone in the elevator was broken.
I started to ask for help in a loud voice but my friend panicked and started banging on the door(gate) to where sparks (you could see them, the door was only a gate) started to come down between the gate and the wall foundation.
I calmed him down and the bldg maintenance people had us out in 20 minutes.

I would imagine ANY firefighter that gets you out of a stuck elevator is hot.
