Colorado Springs Fire Department said it was called to help 10 people trapped inside a elevator at The Mining Exchange, A Wyndham Grand Hotel & Spa. Trump and company were locked inside for almost 30 minutes, when the Colorado Springs Fire Department made their way to the incident, opening the elevator doors, before lending the group a ladder to climb out with.
