Did you know?


Is there something more deadly in a fire than the heat and flames?
Yes there is, smoke inhalation causes more fire related deaths than the flames and heat do. The smoke uses up oxygen necessary for breathing and replaces it with toxic gasses that can quickly make you drowsy and disoriented, this causes a person to pass out before they are able to find an escape. Also, the smoke fire produces is so dark and spreads so quickly that it becomes impossible to find your way around even the most familiar room.
