There is more oxygen near the floor than there is higher up. If you are ever caught in a house that is on fire, you need to do the same thing when trying to get to an exit, such as a door or window.
a fire needs 3 things - heat, fuel and air. The air gets dragged in across the floor - a couple of inches above it max. In a smoke filled room with a fire you could get out by keeping your nose right to the floor and using the very air the fire also needs to keep going.
Because smoke rises.
Because the smoke is hot and will rise towards the ceiling. The lower you stay in a smoky room, the fresher the air is !
Run away. Or try to put it out. if it gets on you drop to the floor and roll it out.
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 reduce the amount of dangerous, hazardous smoke you come in contact with and thereby maximize your chance to escape.Because smoke is less dense than air, so it rises. By crawling you would limit the amount you inhaled.Hope that helps!
Firefighters typically get oxygen tanks from their fire department or fire station. These tanks are filled with compressed oxygen and are essential for providing breathable air to firefighters in hazardous or smoke-filled environments.
because smoke rises up. better chance of not breathing in smoke,
Because heat tends to rise and smoke is hot during a fire, so they want you to get down near the floor so you won't inhale too much smoke.
smoke eaters
It can be. As the present participle of the verb "to gasp" it can modify nouns. Examples: Firefighters found the smoke-filled subway car filled with gasping commuters. Gasping onlookers watched as the huge crane fell from the roof and crashed into the street.
Thick/Turbulent black smoke-indication of flashover Brown smoke-indication of loss of integrity in structural members (floor and ceiling joists are failing=collapse) Dave Dodson's "The Art of Reading Smoke" is an excellent resource!!!
they save lives
Smoke eaters, for obvious reasons.
The smoke and heat will move upward. u should crawl so u can see going and if u are standing up you will see lots of smoke and u will not be able to breath Because heat rises and if you stand straight up and take one breath, It can burn your lungs and kill you.
