Which statement correctly describes the three locations that may be used to recall elevators for firefighter service recall?

• A. Elevator lobby, elevator hoist way, and elevator machine room
• B. Elevator lobby, elevator cab, and elevator machine room
• C. Elevator hoist way, elevator cab, and elevator lobby
• D. Elevator machine room, elevator shaft, and elevator lobby

Answer: (A)

Firefighter service recall needs multiple, reachable points so the recall can be activated no matter which area firefighters can access during an emergency. The standard places to initiate recall are the elevator lobby, the hoistway, and the machine room. From the lobby, firefighters entering the building can trigger recall to bring the elevator cars to a safe floor and place them in firefighter mode. The hoistway provides a remote initiation point within the shaft area, which is useful if the lobby area is blocked or inaccessible. The machine room houses the elevator controller and its Firefighter Recall switch, giving a direct, local way to engage recall or verify status if other points fail or aren’t accessible. The interior of the car (the cab) and the shaft itself aren’t typically listed as initiating locations for recall in standard installations, which is why those options aren’t correct.
