It is not a saying or myth- it can happen. very real occupational hazard of firemen and paramedical men who aid them. Prime cause is smoke inhalation, another secondary ( Fire Hazard) not as immediately visible as burns, but in certain situations- can cause the loss of the human voice within minutes. There are doubtless other causes. A smoky stack invites attack- here of the vocal chords. There were rumors this happened to a number of singers and/or actresses, otherwise intact and with normal vital signs.
