If you have a fire guard in such a situation, can be lifesaving, the thus procured minutes. , A few years ago a pair of siblings has a fire did not survive from the kindergarten my daughter in the living room of the house, because they no longer run away from the overlying children's rooms because of the thick smoke and the father could no longer reach for the same reason. The fire was only in the living room and could even be deleted from the later arriving firefighters there, but the smoke in the stairwell was so strong that no one could reach both children and save. Here, if one or more fire escape hood / s would have been there / n, would this disaster can be prevented with certainty.
