The old woman chooses to stay inside her house as it burns down with her books rather than leave. She sees it as a form of protest against the society that values conformity over knowledge. Her actions serve as a catalyst for Montag's rebellion against the oppressive regime.

tecnically, she burns the house down herself whils she was still in it. the firemen just drenched the house with kerosene.she rather burn her self and her books than go to prison and suffer for what I'm sure deep down she knew reading was the better thing to do.
