when a fire has been cooking in a house for a while it sucks up all of the oxygen so when you open a door it flashes over or backdrafts (explodes) and can hurt firefighters from the fire, smoke, debris, etc.

Firefighters open doors carefully during a fire to control the flow of oxygen, which can fuel the fire. By opening doors slowly, they can assess the conditions and potential risks on the other side, and also limit the amount of oxygen entering the area, potentially preventing a flashover. Additionally, opening doors carefully can help prevent the spread of smoke and fire to other parts of the building.

Why are there fire doors at school?
Fire doors at school or anywhere else are designed to limit the spread of fire and smoke during an emergency, giving the occupants more time to escape, giving firefighters an easier and safer job of finding and putting out the fire, and reducing the amount of damage caused by a fire. You can be certain that any fire door is there for a very good fire safety reason and you should NEVER block one open for convenience. All fire doors should be self-closing, whether anyone is there or not.
