Do, you sleep with your bedroom door open or closed and why?

    Closed. Even a simple hollow core door can offer 30 minutes or more of protection from smoke and indirect fire. More time for alarms to go off and get to safety.

      Fire protection 101. Closed bedroom doors, interconnected smoke alarms so when one goes off they all go off, and at least two exits per room.

      We have fire ladders in the upstairs rooms and, most importantly, we’ve done drills so we know how to use them.

        Had a house fire in '88. You’re a fucking hero on that with actually practicing. We were dumb but super lucky as we just lost everything and noone.

        Sometimes, a perfectly terrible fire (in a perfectly unlucky layout of a house) could emit toxic gases / smoke in sufficient quantities to impair you, potentially to the point of not being able to react to the alarm. At that point you may not escape.
