Effects of Fire Effluent
Abstract Once a victim has become trapped or incapacitated in a fire, conditions can become lethal within a few seconds to minutes; unsuppressed flaming fires can grow exponentially as does the heat, smoke, and toxic gases produced by these types of fires. The key determinant of survival in a fire is the time to incapacitation. Incapacitation occurs when the occupant is no longer capable of self-preservation due to exposure to toxicants, irritants, and heat in a fire. The acute physiological fire hazards affecting escape capability include:
