Reading firefighters sang a song from the Disney movie “Frozen” to calm a girl while rescuing her from a stuck elevator.
When Kaelyn Kerr, 4, got stuck in an elevator with her mother and brother on Wednesday, the only way for them to get out was through the top of the elevator which meant climbing a ladder and going over a wall, according to Fox News.

Firefighters were called to the scene with the objective of freeing the trapped family. The elevator was more like a chairlift in a 4×4 space with an open top. The only way out for the Kerr’s was up a ladder and over the wall.
“When they put the ladder down that’s when she kind of started freaking out a little bit,” said Kristin as she described her daughter’s fear during the rescue.
That’s what prompted the firefighters to get creative. Firefighter John Keough started talking to Kaelyn to try and calm her and learned she’s a fan of the Disney movie Frozen. His partner, Firefighter Scott Myette, then pulled out his iPhone and began playing
the theme song to the movie. Before long, both men were singing along easing the fear of the little girl.
“It worked,” said Keough. “We got her to a point where she was comfortable with us and up the ladder we went, right up and over, no problem.”
