Short title	An occupant slows in irritant smoke and considers another route or waiting for assistance.
Image title	Plan of a corridor in which smoke becomes denser towards the right, reducing visibility and causing eye irritation. An occupant who walked normally further back now shows slower movement near a junction. Dashed arrows show two possible choices: an alternative route branching off the corridor, or a safer room nearby to wait for assistance. A note states that there is no universal walking speed in smoke.
