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.
Firemen wear breathing apparatus to protect themselves from harmful smoke, fumes, and toxins present in a fire. The apparatus provides them with a clean air supply so they can safely work in smoke-filled environments without risking smoke inhalation or respiratory damage.
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.
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!
because smoke rises up. better chance of not breathing in smoke,
Firefighters crawl in smoke-filled rooms because smoke rises to the ceiling, leaving cleaner and cooler air near the floor. By crawling, they can stay below the smoke layer and reduce their exposure to toxic gases and heat. This also helps them maintain better visibility and find victims more easily.
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.
put a wet cloth over your lower face, crawl down on the floor under the smoke, try to get to a window
You crawl because if you breathe in too much smoke in could really hurt hurt your lungs and you could pass out.
It's better to crawl low because the smoke rises so if you crawl under it you wont inhale as much of it and are less likely to die of smoke inhalation than if you just ran through it
Firemen are trained to resuscitate victims of smoke inhalation.
