C2 -1. Reason for using stairways instead of lift during heat
 It might get some people out fast, but most people will be able to escape
much faster by using the stairs. Lifts should be reserved for people who
physically can’t use stairs to escape first – provided it is safe to do so.
 There are many reasons to steer clear of an elevator during a fire, but the
primary reasons are: A fire can short out the electrical system, causing you
to become stuck between floors. An elevator shaft acts like a chimney and
can fill up with smoke quickly, putting you at risk of smoke inhalation
 Generally, every internal escape stair should be a protected stairway. They
should be relatively free of potential sources of fire and so should not be
used for anything else, other than providing a lift well or housing an
electricity meter.
