Rescue efforts underway after downtown high-rises lose power, stranding people

At least two dozen firefighters and several ambulances rushed to downtown Detroit after several high-rise buildings in downtown lost power, trapping people in elevators. 

Extra help was called after people began complaining of health problems and trouble breathing inside congested elevators at the 73-story GM Renaissance Center, One Detroit Center, the Riverfront Towers and several other high-rises. At least four injuries were reported.

The outage began shortly after 4 p.m., prompting what has been an exhaustive rescue by firefighters.

DTE said it is trying to fix the outage as quickly as possible. Power was restored to most buildings at 6 p.

So many firefighters were downtown that dispatchers couldn’t send a rescue squad to a reported house fire on Detroit’s east side.
