| UL FSRI’s Public Education Advisory Group published a new Fire Engineering article to support the Close Before You Doze Campaign and discuss the importance of closing doors to the public, fire service and other stakeholders: Closed Doors Can Save Lives.
From the article, some of the potential effects of a closed door during a fire include the following:
Reduced smoke (CO, HCN, CO2) in the closed room.
Reduced temperature in the closed room.
Reduced fire damage in the closed room.
Increased oxygen in the closed room.
Increased survivability in the closed room.
Increased escape times in the closed room.
Decreased oxygen to the fire area.
