wait people sleep with their doors closed????

okay now im curious. reblog this with where youre from and if you sleep with your door open or closed

okay, so I’m on my firefighter bullshit again.

Sleeping with your door closed can literally save your life.

In a properly alarmed home - that is a home where all of the smoke detectors are connected, either via hard wire, or via wifi system - a fire in one pat of the home will trip the smoke detectors in the *entire* home. Sleeping with your door CLOSED would not, then, contribute to how quickly you would hear the smoke detector alarm go off.

The door being closed, however, WOULD contribute to how much smoke enters your room while you are asleep and vulnerable and unable to guard your airway BEFORE the detector goes off. And in a modern home, the products of combustion are absolutely DEADLY. The gasses given off contain so many toxins and poisons, that if you sleep through the first few minutes of the fire and inhale that smoke? You won’t have enough coherence left TO wake up, even when the alarm is screaming in your ear.

The minutes that keeping your door closed can save before it burns through should your home catch fire in the middle of the night while you are asleep? Will literally save your life. Even something as cheap as an ordinary hollow core interior door. It’s enough. 

Also demons in the hallway can’t get me
