“…These aspects are likely to impact all stages of evacuation, from initial awareness to movement within the structure and decision-making en route. Furthermore, age is likely to affect walking speed and resilience to fire-related hazards, with the very young and elderly individuals in poor health being particularly vulnerable to smoke and heat-induced impairments (Daniel J. O'Connor et al, 2019) Based on research conducted (Karemaker et al, 2022), The first shows that the average respondent reported safe behavior towards fires while at home. The action specifically does not connect the extension sockets to each other and cleans the filter dryer fibers.…”

Human behavior during fire emergencies significantly influences evacuation processes and overall safety outcomes. This literature review synthesizes findings from various research journals to explore the complexities of human behavior and evacuation dynamics in fire incidents. Key factors such as decision-making, evacuation timelines, and the impact of environmental factors on evacuation efficiency are examined. The study underscores the critical role of understanding human behavior in formulating effective fire safety strategies, particularly in residential settings where behavioral responses differ from those in public, commercial, or industrial spaces. Insights from this review emphasize the need for further research into the interplay between spatial planning, demographic factors, and infrastructure in optimizing evacuation procedures for enhanced fire safety in urban environments.

Researchers often use survey methods to study how people behave during building fire evacuations. However, reports on the accuracy of this information are lacking. In this study, individuals (n = 185) recalled details shortly after participating in evacuation experiments. This information was compared to the observed evacuation performances. Our findings suggest that the accuracy of self-reports on evacuation experiences is influenced by the type of information being recalled and reported. Results showed a perfect agreement for the recalled actions (Cohen's kappa k = 0.97) a moderate agreement for evacuation paths (k = 0.51) and time judgements (k = 0.47), a fair agreement for cue perceptions (k = 0.23) and a slight agreement for self-perceived roles (k = 0.04). While the results are more suggestive than conclusive, this study offers valuable insights into the potential biases associated with self-reported accounts in evacuation research.
