Just as I go to bed I see this. I knew you would choose that option. I would too, you simply don't have a choice if you want to make it out yourself. I (stupidly) ran into a burning flat about 15 years ago. At least I attempted to, I never made it. I mean. It was a flat on the second floor of a four floor tenement in Glasgow. A tenement just being a block of flats. The smoke was so thick that I barely made it to the door of the flat in question. Despite me holding my breath the problem was that I could not see because the smoke was so thick and acrid it stung my eyes so badly. It was literally like walking in the dark. And then you think you can sneak a breath through your sleeve but you can't, it just makes you choke. I had to turn back thinking this isn't how it's meant to be??

Fortunately the fire brigade came quickly and got the guy who was inside, out. The same guy who started it because he was an attention seeking arse.

So I know in those cases despite the best will in the world you don't have the option of choosing. If you can get one, get one and get out.

Ps, the firefighter who was speaking to me outside laughed and called me a dick. I couldn't agree with him more
