How would the firefighters even be able to walk in there?

The heater it’s self was 1000 degrees, They do get extremely hot at the source it’s self before blowing it through the house. But it was probably only 130 or so in the whole house it’s self.

The heater (presumably they mean furnace) was 1000 degrees. The room as 120 after it had been opened. My furnace has a flue overheat sensor that would have shut it down long before it got that hot.

Firefighters couldn’t walk in there.

Firefighters do enter fires that are much hotter than that, 1500 degrees or more, but that heat is high in the room. They crawl wear it is cooler, relatively. It’s still 300 degrees or more on the floor. They will use their hose in an attempt to cool the environment.

Their gear can withstand about 1000 degrees. On some videos, you can seen firefighters coming out with their turnouts smoldering.

It’s miserable, to say the least.

This was hot.
