Crawl Low Under Smoke
Smoke and toxic gases rise to the ceiling first. In a fire, the breathable air is closest to the floor. If you encounter smoke while escaping, get down on your hands and knees and crawl to the nearest exit. Just a few breaths of toxic smoke can cause disorientation and loss of consciousness.
You Have Less Than 3 Minutes
In a modern home fire, you may have less than 3 minutes to escape once the smoke alarm sounds. Synthetic materials in furniture and building products burn faster and hotter than natural materials, cutting escape time dramatically compared to 30 years ago.
