In the event of fire danger on the recall floor, what is the elevator's immediate action?

• A. Move to a predetermined alternate floor
• B. Descend to the lobby
• C. Remain on the recall floor
• D. Reset to idle state

Answer: (A)

When fire danger is detected on the recall floor, the elevator control logic directs the car to a predetermined alternate floor. This keeps the elevator away from the hazardous area and places it on a floor that is considered safe and accessible for evacuation or firefighting operations. The goal is to avoid lingering on or returning to a floor that’s compromised. Descending to the lobby could still expose passengers to danger if the fire or smoke affects nearby paths, remaining on the recall floor leaves riders in the hazardous area, and resetting to idle would ignore the active fire condition and fail to move people to safety.
