so u dont sufficate and burn ur lungs from breathing in the smoke. smoke and heat rises Smoke rises. Watch cigarette smoke for example. It always spirals upwards or sideways if caught in a draft.

By crawling you would limit the amount you inhaled.Hope that helps!

Why does smoke from a fireplace go up the chimney instead of out into the living room?
Hot air always rises. Therefore, when a fire is started in a fire place, the hot air from the fire rises, causing the smoke to rise also.
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.
