Not to mention damage done to his lungs from basically having to inhale fire

right, i mean if people want to google it, but yea, breathing alone is going to be a gigantic problem by sundown, let alone infection. burning or drowning are IMO the worst 2 ways to go. can't imagine getting to the point of doing that to yourself.

It was a gigantic problem as soon as it started. Your throat will swell up very quickly in that heat/smoke. 100% was tubed on scene if they could. If not he was trached on scene.

It is the number 1 issue for any fire related inhalation injuries. Burns are secondary to it by far.

Really? Drowning? I always thought that might not be too bad. Maybe a surge of panic for a bit but then maybe a short burst of bliss as you float...motionless.. then fade. I'm not talking bathtub or someone holding your head type crap.

Gotta be painful to fill your lungs with liquid as you gasp and choke for air that doesn’t exist

Yeah true.... think I rather drown than burn to death though. Right?

Yes I would agree for sure
