LANSING, Mich. (WILX) -Trapped in a confined space with nowhere to go... It may sound like your worst nightmare, but it's just another day on the job for emergency response teams. Wednesday, East Lansing and Lansing firefighters received a simulated 9-1-1 call, for two unresponsive maintenance workers stuck in a confined space. The training experience closely mirrored real life, as they responded with no prior knowledge of the challenges that awaited them. They carried what looks and feels like an 180-pound unconscious body, through cramped, hot spaces in the dark.
