How does the smoke from a fire kill people?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Smoke: Smoke inhalation is the cause of most fire related deaths. This can be because many synthetic materials can throw off toxic fumes. A fire can consume available oxygen & sometimes gases are super-heated & burn the airway/ respiratory tract.
