That'd have to be a pretty unusual fire because the interior podium is mostly bare brutalist concrete with lots of wide open space. I don't imagine any fire would have easy time spreading. Plus, smoke inhalation would only be a problem for those immediately next to the fire in one of the retail sections or something which are nearer to the edge of the podium. The elevators to the hotel (the central tower) are 2 floors/levels below the roof of the podium so even if the smoke rises within, you'll still be mostly fine. As with any building, the biggest danger during a fire would be in confined spaces.
