There are many reasons that they crawl. In a fire situation smoke and heat rise and began to fill a room from the top down. By taking a crawling position it's sometimes possible to actually see the seat of the fire and extinguish it with minimal water damage.

∙ 13y agoThere are several reasons that they crawl. In a fire situation smoke and heat rise and began to fill a room from the top down. By taking a crawling position it's sometimes possible to actually see the seat of the fire and extinguish it with minimal water damage, but that's not all. When opening a door oxygen can be introduced to a smoldering fire creating a flashover or backdraft situation, which is basically an explosion of flame. They can be fatal to a firefighter even in turnout gear and staying low is the safer. Also if a fire has burned through a floor, a firefighter will be less likely to fall through from a crawling position, The next reason is to search for victims. A person trapped in a fire room will either be down low on their own or passed out on the floor. Crawling on the floor makes for a more thorough search. Most if not all air in a fire room will be toxic, that's why firefighters will be wearing Self Contained Breathing Apparatus SCBA's when inside a burning building.

How could an airport hotel have an occupancy rate of more than 100 percent?
A particular hotel, may actually have 100 rooms, but only 40 rooms (40 percent of 100 rooms) seem to get filled at any one time. So they will call that 40 rooms "100% occupancy" even though they actually have 60 more rooms available.Then, let's say, that there is an unusual situation that causes many canceled flights which then results in demand for many more than the typical 40 rooms, (let's say 80 rooms), and the NEW number of rooms filled will then be called a 200% occupancy rate.It's just a relabeling of the numbers.
