As a life-safety feature, many elevators are required to be automatically brought to the ground floor and remain unavailable when fire conditions are detected within an elevator lobby, hoist way or equipment room. Because of this, the potential exists for mobility impaired occupants to be located on floor levels where the only available evacuation route would require going up or down stairs. This information provides guidance and reference materials for schools to consider when developing fire safety and evacuation plans for the mobility impaired.
