How does crawling close to the floor during fire keep us safe?
Don't get the wrong idea. Keeping close to the floor in a fire does NOT keep you "safe". If you are in a room with a fire, you are in a distinctly life-threatening situation. Crawling close to the floor while you look for a way out only reduces the likelihood that you'll die before you find it. The smoke, carbon monoxide, and super heated air that can kill you all rise away from the floor. IF there is any breathable air left in the room, it has sunk to the floor, and that's where it will be found, so that's where you need to be if you are to survive.

How does the fire alarm system tie into the elevator system?
Many elevator systems are extremely vulnerable to smoke and fire and any cars are automatically sent to certain level, usually the ground-floor lobby during a fire alarm, where they will remain unless activated by a "firefighter's key". One reason for this is to reduce the chances that occupants will become trapped in an elevator during a fire, such as when a fire in a lobby area "calls" the car to the floor of the fire, opens the doors when it gets there and injures the occupants. In some cases, specially designed and labeled elevators may be used during a fire situation for purpose of evacuation, rather than total reliance upon stairways.
