So where was the training part... - good tent fabrics are flame retardant NOT fire retardant - groundsheets are usually neither - in this case the tent skin smouldered untill the groundsheet caught fire hence the rising flames - are you seriously suggesting that a sleeping bag is any less susceptible to fire than a tent !!!!! - DON'T have ungaurded flames in a tent - GET the hell out ASAP.. leave everything, if no knife use your fekkin teeth...anything, just GET OUT..

Get in your Sleeping bag- and Die....

The best advice I can give about this is make sure you have a cutting tool per tent so that you can stick it in the side slice a big hole and get straight out. Hiding in a modern sleeping bag will cocoon you in a wrapping of plastic based fabrics that will melt and burn you from head to toe this will kill you. Never stay inside a tent that is on fire get out imediatly taking any one else in side with you. Cal. West End Scout Group. Surrey Heath.

this tent was damp and mouldy which is why it took so long to burn that coupled with the fact it was a fire retardant tent.

DO NOT get under your sleeping bag if you're caught in a tent fire!! it will burn and melt on top of you and you will die. Just get out of the tent as soon as you can even if that means going through the flames, but it'd be better to cut your way out of the non burning side.

when ever i go camping and in my tent, i always keep a knife on me at all times, so that should i need to get out in an emergency i just cut my way out.
