This perhaps the most memorable scene in the movie. Kurt Russell emerges from an apartment that is completely engulfed in flames with a small child in his arms. However it doesn't take a fire fighter to realize that he should have been on his hands and knees getting out of there. Temperatures in a room that has already flashed over and completely engulfed in flames could reach several hundred degrees just feet off of the floor. And Our hero kurt just struts out with no breathing apparatus and his coat isn't even buttoned. If that were for real, kurt would have come out of that apartment with his head a flaming piece of charcoal. Not very realistic for the most memorable moment in the film.
