Explanation:

1. In a fire, elevators can malfunction (e.g., power loss), while stairways are a safer evacuation route.
2. Closing doors slows fire spread by limiting oxygen and fuel access.
3. Ionization and photoelectric are common smoke - detection technologies. Ionization detects fast - flaming fires, and photoelectric detects smoldering fires.
4. When using a fire extinguisher, aim at the base of the flame (not the top) to cut off the fuel source.
5. Knowing the number of residents helps in planning evacuation (e.g., ensuring no one is left behind), and their ability to evacuate (e.g., assisting the elderly or disabled) is also crucial.

Answer:

1. True
2. True
3. Ionization and Photoelectric
