The electrical systems will likely fail in a fire due to power outage thereby trapping the persons in a lift. Also there is the risk of suffocation in enclosed places from smoke caused by the fire.

Answer2: Elevator wires may be burned in a fire. Getting in an elevator is an absolute no-no in a fire-they might trap you and become an oven.

During a fire should elevators be pulled to the ground?

During a fire, elevators should not be used as a means of evacuation and should not be pulled to the ground. Elevators can become inoperative or malfunction due to fire or smoke, posing a serious risk to occupants. Instead, individuals should use the stairways to exit the building safely. Fire safety protocols typically advise waiting for trained personnel to manage elevators in such emergencies.

Are elevators supposed to be used during a fire?

Depends, but usually not. 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.
