The wrecking ball can't come soon enough for those who work and use the crumbling Long Beach Courthouse.
Especially for a group of people briefly stuck in a malfunctioning elevator who had to be rescued by Firefighters Friday.
The problem was reported about 2:25 p.m. at the courthouse, 415 W. Ocean Blvd.,
said Steve Yamamoto, a Long Beach Fire Department spokesman.
"There were wires sparking inside the elevator," Yamamoto
said, adding that no one was hurt.
By 3 p.m., everyone was brought out safely, the firefighter said.
It is at least the second time this year that people have been trapped in one of the ailing elevators at the Long Beach Superior Court.
A plan to replace the courthouse is slated to break ground later this spring.
