We always teach people to get on their hands and knees and crawl to safety in a house fire. Many times what kills people isn’t the flames themselves, but smoke inhalation. Notice in this video how quickly the smoke begins to lower toward the floor. It perfectly demonstrates why it’s important to GET LOW AND GO! | Durham Fire Department
