In a situation where you are within a structure that is on fire and you cannot flee to a safer location, you would want to keep windows in the closed position. Opening windows will bring in an air flow in which the fire will flow towards. If there is not oxygen for a fire, it will help to decrease the fire because it is taking away a source of fuel.

Did houses have windows in the middle ages?
Most houses had windows, but most houses did not have glass in the windows. Instead, the windows were open, and could be closed with a shutter. Many houses had window-like holes high in the walls to vent smoke from the fire on the hearth, because they had no chimney, and such vents were not closed for weather because they had to stay open for the fire. It was not what we would call cozy. Rich people, of course, had windows, and these often had glass in them.
