Interesting. My brother was a volunteer fireman in Youngstown NY and got a call out to a house fire. As they arrived there was little outward sign of a fire. One of the crew opened the upper door on a rear deck and got blown back by the hot blast, as the fire was waiting for air to burn. The house was quickly consumed by the fire, which flashed over very quickly. Once the door was opened it was an inferno. Apparently the fire had been smoldering for some time. His wife made that his last call. It was close, especially if some of the crew had entered on a lower level before the upper door was opened to create a draft and air source.
