If the fire is bad enough, it can cut the power to the elevators, and being stuck in an elevator inside a burning building is definitely not a good idea.
But some buildings have a special fire services override, allowing the fire brigade to run the elevators to help with getting people out of the building - if they think it's safe to do so.

During a fire should elevators be pulled to the ground?

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.
