However, a closed door is <em>far<\/em> more advantageous in the event of a fire than an opened one.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever wondered why are the top causes of house fires, you should check out another article I wrote breaking down the <a href=\"https:\/\/firefighternow.com\/top-9-causes-of-house-fires-and-tips-to-prevent-them\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">top 9 causes of house fires (and tips to prevent them)<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_You_Close_All_Doors_During_a_Fire\"><\/span>Should You Close All Doors During a Fire?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Doors should always be closed in the event of a fire. There are six main reasons to close doors during a fire:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Slows the Spread of Flames<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The main reason you should close your door while you sleep (and during a fire in general) is that it slows the spread of flames, allotting you more time to escape. Fire feeds on oxygen. A closed door halts the oxygen flow to the fire, ensuring it doesn\u2019t get out of control too swiftly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Decreases Overall Temperatures<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A closed door will block some of the horrendous and deadly high temperatures a fire emits. In fact, it\u2019s claimed that a room with the door shut will remain below 100F, while a room with the door open can easily reach 1,000F or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Reduces Smoke Inhalation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>While a wide open room will allow smoke to gust inside, a door will help block some smoke from entering. This is <em>life-changing<\/em>, considering smoke inhalation is one of the most common reasons for death in a house fire, which can occur in under ten minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Improved Oxygen Levels<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Since a closed door blocks the bulk of smoke from entering the room, oxygen levels are much higher than they would be if the room\u2019s door were open. With improved oxygen levels, there is less chance of passing out or dying, especially before one can get away.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. More Time to Escape<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The most significant advantage of closing doors during a fire is that it allows the occupants more time to escape with a significantly reduced risk of injury or death. It also gives the fire department additional time to successfully perform rescue missions when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Easier to Fight the Flames<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The final perk of closing doors is that it makes the fire easier to manage &#8211; for residents <em>and<\/em> fire departments. (Note: It\u2019s always best to leave fire-fighting to the professionals!) As the fire is not being fed oxygen and is halted momentarily by the door, there is <em>far<\/em> more time to put out the blaze before it grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consider_Fire-Rated_Doors_for_Added_Protection\"><\/span>Consider Fire-Rated Doors for Added Protection<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While <em>any<\/em> type of closed door is advantageous during a fire, if you want to increase fire protection, consider purchasing a \u201cfire-rated\u201d or \u201cfire-resistant\u201d door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These specialty doors undergo endurance testing at temperatures up to 1,925F. From there, the door is given a <em>rating<\/em> &#8211; or a <em>time limit<\/em> &#8211; for how long it\u2019ll last during a blaze. For instance, the door may be able to handle high temperatures for 60 minutes up to a maximum of 180 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Always_Close_Your_Bedroom_Doors\"><\/span>Always Close Your Bedroom Doors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While doors won\u2019t necessarily <em>stop<\/em> a fire in its tracks, they will work to slow the spread and cut down on smoke inhalation, which results in a higher chance of a successful escape from the home or building. Always close your bedroom doors while you sleep, and purchase a fire-rated door for added protection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You may have heard that you\u2019re supposed to close your bedroom doors at night, but do you &#8230; <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more-container\"><a title=\"Will A Door Stop A Fire?
