Firefighters from Keighley were called out this week to rescue a milkman trapped in a broken-down lift. He had become stuck in a stationary lift at the Ebor Court block of flats in Westgate Gardens.

Firefighters from Keighley received the call at 8.15am on Tuesday and were promptly on the scene. When they arrived at the block of flats they wound the lift car up to the next level so that the man could make his exit. And by the time they had reached the next level to assess the situation, the milkman had already walked out of the lift and was nowhere to be seen.
