My kids just asked me why I make them sleep with the doors closed at night. I told them it's to keep them safe in the event of a fire. They didn't believe me, so I played them this video. They do now. Thank you. For those who leave their doors open at night because "I'm too hot!" Think you're too hot at night now? Just think how hot, and fast, those synthetic fibers burn. With less than 3 minutes of escape time from when the smoke alarm goes off, you may never have the chance to get to safety.
@rhythmknight4158 Жыл бұрын
It depends. It's not really because of the hot feeling but lack of oxygen. If you have windows and doors open, there is more circulation of air meaning more oxygen for your brain and better sleep. That would be the only argument to having doors shut. But in the case of a fire having doors shut is definitely better. I personally still like to have my door and windows open; I have an alarm system which would help me wake up in the case of a fire.

This is also good advice when everyone leaves the house for school or work to close all interior doors. If a fire starts in one room, it will slow down the progression of the fire into other rooms and confine it to one room for long enough for firefighters to arrive and put out fire reducing the total damage to the dwelling. Obviously that doesn’t mean that a house won’t burn down to the ground. If the fire is not noticed at all until it has started getting through doors of several rooms and the firefighters are a long way off. Or if you live where there are no fire hydrants and a water supply has to be established to fight the fire. This consists of drafting water from the nearest body of water into tankers that go to the fire scene and fill huge portable containers with their water and go back for more. The extra time those closed doors allow for more time to get the “wet stuff on the red stuff.”

@@JonnyFlash80 Yeah, that is the most important point. These videos show the dramatic side of a fire, but the idea is that you want to be outside by the time the fire or smoke gets bad. You don't want to be "safely" in your bedroom with the door closed and an intense fire on the other side of that door with your only way out being through your bedroom window. I think they emphasize doors closed so heavily because it is factually accurate but more so because it's easy for people to form the habit and do it. What's not as easy is 1) making sure you have working smoke detectors in all the right places and testing them annually, 2) teaching children who are old enough what to do in case of fire and how to escape their room if trapped, 3) potentially purchasing something like a safety ladder if bedrooms are on the 2nd or 3rd floor, 4) having working/charged cell phones in your room so you can immediately call 911 if needed and when safe....and I'm sure there are many more point.

Queen gacha cat I meant the exterior door as opposed to the room door.

Hrm... I sleep with the bedroom door open, but the only reason I do is because I have cats. Who, regardless of which side of the door they're on, will inevitably want to be on the other side of it. They will cry loudly. They will bang on the door - I'm not even sure how they do this, but I suspect they reach a paw under and PULL it against the door jam. Until I stopped closing the door when sleeping, they made it impossible to get any sleep. How would a cat flap door affect fire safety?

My worry is that what if a fire fighter opens the door to see if there’s a fire there sees there’s no fire and fire gets in

If the fire department is there, why would you be concerned. This is to keep you safe, not save property.

It may be my brand of smoke detector, but I had a house fire back in 2012. Deemed a total loss. Had to tear the house down. Our smoke alarms never went off. We never heard them beep until the days after when we went back to see the extent of the damage. They were a melting, beeping mess. I knew of the fire from some confusion of other people in the house with me and how scared my dogs were. It wasn’t until I saw the smoke that I got out of the house. Sleeping with the door shut, maybe. But sometimes fire starts before smoke does. It’ll depend on what starts the fire if you’ll want your doors open or shut. But there’s no way to know until it’s too late! I hope lightening doesn’t strike twice, but for me I’ll keep my doors open from experience. But it’d probably be more wise to listen to the men who study fires for a living. I can’t close it from my own trauma. But it probably is safer. Namely, just check your smoke detectors :)

I have a strange feeling some detectors are not sensitive enough nowadays. So probably better to have a couple different brands.

Soooo, in the event of a fire if you don't have a ladder to escape of a second floor or if you have small children or if you don't have a a family fire escape plan most probably you won't make it

smoke detector wakes you up before the house is totally consumed hopefully. You could always jump out the 2nd floor window or tie some towels together

Question, if a fire were to start in a room that had a closed door, how much extra time would that buy you?
@jsprankel4712 Жыл бұрын
Hollow core interior doors are supposed to last for 25 minutes with flame directly on them. Solid core interior doors are supposed to last for 45 minutes. Depending on the response time of the fire department, you should either have plenty of time to escape...or...if you needed to stay in the room, the firefighters would have plenty of time to rescue you. If there is a fire in your room...get out quickly - and CLOSE THE DOOR!
@sggd132 Жыл бұрын
Most of the time, it would buy you around 25-35 minutes depending on the door, per door

@gracesoncarthel49275 жыл бұрын
If you’re aware of the fire, then yes, get out; if you’re asleep, a smoke detector should wake you up and not the smoke itself. Closed doors also give you more time to save those who can’t save themselves, like infants, before they are affected by the smoke. You are not encouraged to stay inside just because the room isn’t charred

Ugh. I've got a cat that will go nuts if I close my bedroom door. So, I have smoke alarms everywhere. A total of 5 smoke alarms for a 2 bedroom 1,100 square foot 1-story cabin. 2 adults in the house. No smokers. But, it's a very, very old house with a mixture of old and new wiring. Smoke alarms are placed just inside and just outside our bedroom doors. A smoke alarm is in the living room and 1 in the kitchen. If it weren't for my therapy cat, I could easily go with a closed-door approach. 2 of the 5 smoke alarms also alert for carbon monoxide. Plus, a 6th alarm that is carbon monoxide only. Batteries are always checked. What more can I do?

You could also try install a cat door. You would get the same smoke protection from your door compared with a door without such cat door installed.
