What are wheelchair-bound people to do when a building alarm disables elevators?
We had a false alarm go off in the building where I work last week. The elevators automatically shut down forcing the use of the fire escapes. The building is 22 floors. I was lucky in that Iβd just taken the elevator to the first floor to step outside on a break. When they finally let us back in, I wondered what someone with mobility issues is expected to do had the building been on fire. Just die? Have a kind soul carry them? With most people wfh at least a couple of days per week, this seems really dangerous for anyone who might get stranded.

Lol imagine if the adults were like "ok good, you stay here, I'm out, bye"
Sounds like the Uvalde police force!
"I don't wanna go inside, there's fire in there!"
I think they didn't even go inside because scared.
I may have pretended to do this as a joke once or twice.
