Showerthought: A firefighter changed how I think about elevator recall systems
I was working on a recall panel in a Chicago high rise last week, and a firefighter from the local station came by for a check. He said, 'You know, we don't just need the car to come to the lobby. We need to know it's empty before we can use it.' It hit different because I always just focused on the mechanics of the recall itself. Now I'm thinking about the whole process from their side. What's the best way you guys have found to clearly show an elevator is ready for fire service?

Add a clear green light they can see from the hallway.

Never considered the empty car part before.

That "empty car" thing is just one tiny example of how much we all rely on invisible social rules.
