Therefore, escape is often impossible or carries a high risk of putting people in even greater danger. Most of these disasters are at least exacerbated by human intervention and failure. This article provides a brief overview and tips on how to respond.

Fire Safety

Deadly Smoke: The Stealthy Killer

The real killer in most fires is not the flames, but the toxic smoke. Responsible for up to 80% of fire-related deaths, smoke is a silent killer that spreads rapidly long before flames arrive.

Learn why staying low to the ground and crawling under the smoke layer is critical for breathing cleaner air. We cover essential steps for sealing doors and immediate actions for smoke inhalation.
