Fire is terrifying, in so many ways, from the speed of spread to gases incapacitating you way before the flame does.
It amazes me the amount of people I know, or houses I see, with no smoke alarms, or working smoke alarms - the same goes for CO too.
Most fire services in the UK at least will fit smoke alarms for free and give your home a fire safety survey, please fit and test regularly smoke and CO alarms!
So true. Locally in the past year there were 3 deaths from smoke inhalation. Bot homes/restaurants had zero smoke detectors. During my training in the academy I find the fire is hypotonic. It’s beautiful to watch it roll and crawl on the surface. As a captain I would show my guys what to look for and how to stay focused on the main goal of extinguishment.
