Well, for years I worked on the 3rd floor of an office building and every
time they had a fire drill, I was carried down in an evacuation chair. 
They never brought down my wheelchair, and while I did get a bit annoyed at
that, I can see that it's more important to get everyone out of the
building safely then to worry about wheelchairs, etc.  I have always been
assured that they would help me get a replacement but that's because I'm an
employee - I'm not sure what the replacement protocol would be if you were
a visitor to a building in which there was a fire.

Friends,

 

This is something I have never thought about before a friend presented me
the question, but let's say that I was on the 3rd floor of a burning
building with my power chair and communication device, would the
firemen\women be responsible to try to get those things out?  Instead of
still having a power chair and communication device, I would rather get
myself out, those other things can be easily replaced.  

 

Thanks, 

Anthony
