We have to have the door closed because of the cats, but i am the opposite. I would prefer to have the door open because i am a pretty light sleeper and have pretty good hearing. With the door open i can hear pretty much everything happening in the house. Door closed, not so much. Can't wait for the youngest cat to mellow out so we can leave the doors open again.

Honestly this, along with some sign of who is in the house, pets included. Including exactly where you are helps FD get to you as fast as they can. You may not be able to communicate with 911 everything they need. Those little things like closing your door and adding signs may very well be what saves your life. Because you do that and everyone on scene knows how to interpret that and act if heaven forbid you cannot. 💯🚨 *Also, as someone who regularly sleep-walks. Closing that door, in my case adding an alarm as well, has made it so much easier for myself and those around me. To this day if I’m not awakened by my own alert, I will walk out of the house at 3:30 am and be fully unconscious. If this applies to you let people know and protect yourself as much as possible. Because trust, being ‘woken-up’ by someone who just ran and pulled you off the highway is no fun at all. (Even worse- it’s someone you know, very well. That next day they there will be jokes. No question. 🤦♀️🤷♀️🤣😂🚨)

Do me, it is a paradox. If you close the door you may be safe, but you can not see the dangers that lurk outside the door. I like to know the danger I am facing because I do not like the unknown. But at the same time the dagers on the other side of the door may be blocked by the door so they are no longer a danger until you open the door. But if you have the door closed, you may not know what dangers lurk outside the door....

The fire is going to break the windows anyway, and you need to get airflow into the building to clear out the smoke. If your door is unlocked, and it uses a handle that they can actually grasp though their gloves, they are just going to open the door normally.
