Fire doors that swing for ordinary use are rated from 1/3 of an hour up to 3 hours. There are specialized fire doors that can last longer, sometimes used in high hazard locations, with fusible links that allow them to slam shut when there is enough heat.

Why do you need to get down low when there is smoke in the room?

When there is a fire in an enclosed area the air in the room begins to heat up. Since heat rises, the smoke from the fire is pushed up with it. Smoke inhalation can have immediate consequences (ex: lack of oxygen; burning of the lungs) or, depending on the type of fire/smoke, it can also lead to long-term health problems. Staying close to the ground helps you inhale as little smoke as possible. Smoke can also be a hazard because it disorients you. If you look under the smoke you can see your surroundings more clearly.

How are fire fighting dangerous?

First of all 'fire fighting' is dangerous because the fire can burn you (duh) and the smoke will kill you. The main cause for death in a fire is due to accidental smoke inhalation because the higher toxin levels are usually around head level. Fire fighting is fine so long as you have the correct and appropriate protection. (But I highly suggest not trying unless you have permission, supervision, and again, protection)
