The sad wildfires in spain made me wonder this, especially as climate change means there’ll be more fires. I know groups like disabled people and their families are slower to get out, causing risk. But is it more that the fire is too fast, or that some people just don’t leave fast enough?
Just wondering what could be done to reduce deaths.
The biggest cause of death with any kind of fire is smoke inhalation, not the fire itself. Comparatively, it’s uncommon for people to be still long enough to burn to death.
