This is why it's extremely important to TEACH YOUR CHILDREN WHAT TO DO IF THERE'S A FIRE.
Get out, stay out. If you can't get out, close the doors. Don't hide. Call for help.
#PracticeFireSafety because their life depends on it.
We expect hidden knee wall spaces for fire to travel and children to hide in Capes & 2-1/2 story frames, but I found these storage areas with flush mounted doors in the bedroom of a colonial style house in my city. The doors would be tough to pickup in a sightless search.
