What is the safest way to locate the involved elevator car during an elevator rescue?

The safest way to locate the involved elevator car during an elevator rescue is to use the Elevator Indicator Panel in the Fire Command Center (FCC). This panel provides vital information about the status and location of the elevator cars within the building. It helps firefighters quickly determine which elevator is involved and its exact position, reducing the risks associated with directly entering the elevator shaft or surrounding area without knowing the situation.

Utilizing the indicators from the FCC ensures that responders have access to real-time data, allowing for a safer and more effective rescue operation. This system is designed to assist in navigating complex building layouts and enhances situational awareness for emergency personnel. Being informed about the elevator's location before undertaking rescue attempts is crucial for the safety of both the rescuers and potential occupants trapped within the elevator.
