House Fires - Smoke

When are the writers of film scripts - and directors - going to learn something about house fires?

I had a kitchen fire once and within minutes there was smoke evrywhere except for about a foot off the floor - I crawled out thru that.

In this film and hundreds of others - houses are ablaze for lengthy times and people are walking around like a day at the beach.

True, the house should have been thick with smoke. But a whole lot of action takes place we wouldn't have been able to see if it was smoky.

The writers of this piece of crap couldn't be bothered with details.

Oh yeah - forgot for the moment it was produced out of 'Hollywood.' 😣

this is the one movie in which it makes sense, the house had a massive ventilation system with ducts big enough for people to run around in
