New elevator technologies are rapidly developing and changing. Elevators, especially in high-rise buildings, can be an extremely useful tool for firefighters to fight fires and rescue occupants. Among the new elevator types are the fire service, occupant egress, machine room-less, and destination dispatch elevators. Building and fire codes such as IBC/IFC and NFPA standards are constantly evolving to keep up with the elevator technology changes and to address the firefighters’ use of elevators during emergencies. The intent of this session is to address specific IBC, NFPA 13, NFPA 72®, and ASME A17.1 code requirements related to fire emergency operation in different types of elevators.
