It's not pretty Graham, but some hospitals have patient slides to emergency evac patients via the stairs. Think of it as a stiff backed stretcher that wraps around the patient and they get dragged along by 1-2 staff and carefully down the stairs feet first. It's not very friendly to accessory medical gear, but sure beats a fire
