The eleventh floor generally isn't an issue. The building has an elevator. But the elevator doesn't really mean shit when said building is on fire and the only option is stairs. Cassian wakes up quickly to the smell of smoke and the flash of lights, and it doesn't take him long to put his own escape into motion.
He has very little belongings, grabbing what he can before he leaves his room and starts making his way downstairs. He's not the only one, and he stops now and then along the way to usher someone along, to help them organize themselves.
He gets about halfway down when he sees a familiar flash coming up and does a double take before quickly slithering between the evacuees towards Jyn. He catches her arm and stops her, pulling her towards him hard enough that he accidentally yanks her into his chest.
