Product Overview
Closing doors during a fire is a critical safety measure that can significantly reduce the spread of flames, smoke, and toxic gases in apartments and buildings. Fire thrives on oxygen, and an open door allows more oxygen to fuel the fire, potentially accelerating its growth and making it harder to control. By closing doors, residents can effectively compartmentalize the fire, limiting its ability to spread quickly from one area to another. This containment provides valuable time for occupants to escape safely and for emergency responders to arrive and extinguish the fire before it escalates further.
Moreover, closed doors can help protect property and minimize damage. In a fire, smoke and heat cause extensive harm, even in areas not directly affected by flames. A closed door acts as a barrier, blocking the intense heat and reducing the spread of smoke, which can cause severe damage to personal belongings and the structural integrity of the building. This simple act can be the difference between a manageable fire incident and a catastrophic one, highlighting the importance of making it a habit to close doors during an emergency situation.
