A technical operation was underway Friday evening in Gaithersburg when six people got trapped inside a storage container trailer.
According to Pete Piringer with Montgomery County Fire and Rescue, the incident was reported in the 7800 block of Beechcraft Avenue around 8:30 p.m.
The load had shifted in the trailer, which forced the front of it to tip forward. The angle was too steep for the people inside to climb out, so a rescue team was sent in to help. They used a bucket truck to pull the six people out, and no one was hurt.
