Video: FEMS Team Attempts to Rescue Stuck American Flag

The flag has been stuck at the top of the pole on the Duke Ellington School of the Arts front lawn for several weeks.

Three weeks and one ladder truck later an American flag remains stuck at the top of the flag pole at the Duke Ellington School of the Arts.

A ladder truck from D.C. Fire and EMS stopped by Friday to check out the situation. The school's front lawn was too saturated from rains earlier in the week for the truck to drive in without potentially getting stuck. They will try again next week.
