Occasionally I see news stories like “man runs back into burning house and rescues beloved pet”
However, I’ve also been told that you will most likely die in seconds if you inhale the smoke. I’ve read that in a fire you have to crawl to escape. I’ve read that you have to sprint quickly through the flames if you have a chance (the exact opposite of crawling low?).

Well, it’s probable that you are only hearing the successful stories. Many of the deaths you hear about were very likely would-be rescuers. Generally, a significant portion of hazard related deaths were rescuers. It’s said that most confined space deaths are rescuers going in to retrieve a corpse. Grain silos, drowning, fires can be similarly lethal.
