There are a few reasons why it isn't safe to use an elevator during a fire.
The first is that fire can short-circuit the elevator call button on the fire floor and therefore cause the elevator to stop at that floor. Obviously not good.
Also, an elevator shaft provides a natural chimney. As such it can quickly fill with smoke. You don't want to be trapped in a small metal box in a smoke chocked elevator shaft.
If power is lost or is cut while you are in the elevator then you are stuck there.
Consider too that eveyone in the building is trying to evacuate at the same time. An elevator is a terribly inefficient way to evacuate a building. You can only fit a small number of people at a time and the elevator will then stop at every floor the button has been pressed on its way to the ground floor.
Last but not least if the fire is above the tenth floor the fire department will need the elevator to shuttle personnel and equipment from ground level up to an advance command post, probably two floors below the fire.
