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?).

It’s not that the smoke kills you in seconds, I don’t think. But if you run into a cloud of acrid, poisonous smoke and inhale, you start coughing/choking and your eyes tear up.
You couldn’t see very well before (smoke) and now it’s worse (eyes tearing) and you’re still in the cloud so every time you gasp (can’t control that, you’re choking) you suck in more smoke and all the above get worse. You have a couple minutes to live, but it’s going to be incredibly hard to do anything useful with them. :/
