[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 616946, member: 3907"] Sorry DDD. Fire safety always sets me on a bit of a crusade. There was a fire in my residence building when I was in university. Thankfully, small, easily contained and no-one was hurt. However, it was the third drunken-frat-boy "false alarm" of the night, people were drunk and sleepy and took FOREVER to get out, only to find out the next day that the 3rd one had actually been a real fire. With 2000-odd people living in my wing of that residence, and the other wing twice the size, it could have been a catastrophe if the fire fighters hadn't been so insistent on teaching us all a lesson by evacuating the building in full rather than doing a "stay put and verify" which they often did on party-nights in the university town I lived in at the time. As to your original question, the (very few) lux apartments I've been in over the years had private elevators, but they still had to use the fire stairs down the hall with the "plebeians". [/QUOTE]
