Why a fire at a building entrance is so dangerous

The entrance and the stairwell are the main escape route for residents of an apartment building, which makes fire and smoke in that area especially dangerous. In such situations Israel Fire and Rescue Services generally advise residents not to go down a smoke-filled stairwell, but to close the apartment door, seal the gap beneath it with a wet cloth, call 102 and wait for rescuers while signalling from a balcony or window. It is also recommended not to leave strollers, furniture or other flammable items in entrances and stairwells.

Netania.info will report further details on the cause of the fire and the damage if they become available.
