A closed door to the fire room can stop the rapid spread of a fire. If you do get stuck in a fire, it probably will be the smoke that will do the most damage to you or kill you. There usually is a small layer of clean air close to the floor. If you can put your face into your shirt and crawl along the floor, you increase your odds of getting out. When you get out, do not under any circumstances go back into the fire building. You will probably not get out and the way we deal with a fire with people in the structure is very different than if the building is empty. Of course the most obvious is make sure that your smoke detectors and co detectors are working.

Good advice Jeff. I hope none of us will ever have to put it to use.
