How do people who run back into a burning building to save a pet or child survive?

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?).

Hypothetically, if you _absolute_ had to, how can you increase the chances of your survival? Would a wet towel over your mouth and nose help?
