The invention provides a novel elevator firefighting control method and system. The remote firefighting signals from a building firefighting control center can be received, and two firefighting landings are provided; compared with the existing way of taking the first floor of the building above the ground as a firefighting base station, the firefighting signals sent by the building firefighting control center and a duty room firefighting control switch can be responded more quickly, and the car is immediately conveyed to the firefighting landing of corresponding firefighting area for the firefighter to operate; furthermore, in a firefighting state, according to the actions of the firefighter switches on two landings of a primary firefighting floor and a secondary firefighting floor, the car is immediately conveyed to the landing of the acting firefighter switch for the firefighter on the landing to operate. By adopting the novel elevator firefighting control method and system provided by the invention, the firefighting efficiency is improved, the time of elevator responding to corresponding firefighting signals is shortened, and personal safety in the building is guaranteed while the property loss is reduced.
