Fireman's switch
When a fire alarm is going off, all the lifts are supposed to go down to the ground floor and stay there the entire time the fire alarm is active. Firefighters can use the fireman's switch located near a lift to reactivate individual lifts in order to use them to reach the affected floor (saves wear and tear on the firefighters in cases where there are no obvious signs of fire like smoke and flames).
