    The document discusses myths and realities about escape behavior during fires. It asserts that it is a myth that fire alarms will always prompt immediate evacuation, as people's responses depend on context and situation. It is also a myth that people will evacuate at equal speeds as models suggest, as human behavior is unpredictable. The reality is that assuming predictable evacuation speeds is wrong.
