There are smoke detectors in all elevator lobbies.
If smoke is detected, the elevator doors
will automatically close and the elevator will return to the main
floor when the fire alarm is activated.
The elevators have an override, the "Fireman's Key Control,"
which allows emergency personnel to control the elevator and use
it as needed for moving people and equipment.
In a modern high rise building, there is an annunciator
panel in the control room which indicates the location of the
elevators and whether they are operational.
The electrically driven, cable-operated machinery
which runs the elevators is an impressive size.
