  1. He’s right if you bust down the front door the fire will seek oxygen and flash out at you! You have to be very careful about rescuing people and sadly the story says that two people died in this fire, I’m certain they were long gone by the time the video was taken! Godspeed. Folks ty for caring

  2. @ opening the door causes what’s known as a back draft, a flood of oxygen. In this case the widows were burst in the bathroom and I’m not a fireman so yes in theory I suppose, BUT! It’s going to be a couple of hundred degrees inside and the smoke will overwhelm a person they’d need crawl. Best case scenario is bust a window maybe and see what happens? Scream loudly for anyone inside not crawl towards your voice? It’s a terrible feeling to not to be able to save someone even strangers but that’s a big fire and it’s very dangerous inside the house. You can’t see either in that dense smoke. I’d have advised the same thing, wait for Fire rescue. Very sad helpless feeling
