The problem here, from what I've gathered, is that they didn't make entry due to the house being "fully involved", and the room at least one of the victims was found hadn't been touched by fire.

So the victim was unable to evacuate thru a window?

Are you victim blaming?

What about my question indicated this? I’m unaware of the context and asking why the victim was unable to self evacuate. Like were they asleep and died of smoke inhalation before they had a chance to leave?
