Speakers advise against re-entering a fire, stress danger of smoke inhalation
In a short exchange, two speakers advised people not to re-enter a structure during a fire to retrieve personal items and emphasized that smoke is a primary breathing hazard.

The exchange begins with a question about retrieving a phone: Speaker 1, a staff member, asked, "What if we forgot our phone inside? Can we go back and grab it?" and answered, "No. No. Never go back inside." Speaker 2, a resident, replied, "what know what's in here?" Speaker 1 responded, "Oh, air." When Speaker 2 asked, "Air. Why do we need air?" Speaker 1 said, "We're being cut so you can breathe." Speaker 2 concluded the exchange by saying, "Exactly. So we don't breathe we don't breathe the bad smoke and everything in the fire. Right?"

The transcript records this as a brief instructional exchange; it contains no formal motions, votes, or directives and does not identify the meeting context or any official action.

The record captures a simple safety message: do not go back inside during a fire and be aware that smoke can make breathing dangerous. The transcript does not provide additional details, citations to fire codes, or the identity of the program or event where these remarks occurred.
