I always keep the exit as tight as the entrance. First, I scope the fire line with a drone, then I line a quick stairwell exit to the back, that’s my “back‑up” route. I have a smoke grenade ready to mask my silhouette, a silent, high‑velocity bolt to pop a fire door, and a lightweight parachute rigged to a vest for a vertical escape if the roof’s on fire. I move in silence, hit the exit, and I’m gone before the blaze turns the building into a maze. The key? Plan, anticipate, and leave the fire behind you.
