Smoke inhalation is the primary cause of death in victims of indoor fires.
It is estimated that "50-80% of fire deaths are the result of smoke inhalation injuries rather than burns." The smoke injures or kills by a combination of thermal damage, poisoning and pulmonary irritation caused by carbon monoxide, cyanide and other combustion products.
