CLASS DESCRIPTION
In high-rise buildings, elevators are extremely useful tools for firefighters to fight fires and rescue occupants. The main reason for developing the Fire Service Access Elevator (FSAE) was to provide firefighters with a safer and more efficient means to fight fires and rescue occupants in the upper floors of high-rise buildings. The FSAE was first required by the 2009-IBC for high-rise buildings over 120 feet in height. Occupant Evacuation Elevators were also introduced first in the 2009-IBC as an exception to the required additional exit stairway for buildings over 420 feet in height. The OEE are intended to be used by building occupants to evacuate the building during fire emergencies - In case of a fire USE the elevators!
This class will discuss the specific code requirements for the FSAE and OEE + OEO including the latest IBC/CBC codes and NFPA standards.
Most updated Editions of IBC-2024 and 2027 / CBC-2025, ASME A17.1-2025, CCR-Title 8-Elevator Safety Orders (ESO), and NFPA 72 -2025, NFPA 13-2025, and NFPA 1225-2027 will be presented.
NEW proposed code changes in NFPA 72-2028 Sections 21.5 and 21.6 and NFPA 13-2028 will be discussed.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES/OUTCOMES
- Identify all building and fire codes, elevator codes, and NFPA standards associated with Fire Service Access Elevators (FSAE), Occupant Evacuation Elevators (OEE) and Occupant Evacuation Operation (OEO).
- Understand the specific IBC/CBC Sections 3007 and 3008 requirements for firefighters' and occupants' protection associated with FSAE and OEE.
