A firefighter caught in a room involved in a flashover has very little time before the room temperatures cause gear failure that will result in serious burn injuries and or death. Your escape time from a room involved in a flashover is about 0.5 to 2 seconds. This equates to about a distance of 1.5 meters (5 feet) as the average firefighter can crawl about 0.75 meters per second (2.5 feet)

Therefore the best defenses against being caught in a flashover fire are:
