Half an Hour to Save Your Life
- Synopsis
- This programme simulates the conditions of a real house fire, in real time. Inside the house, stunt woman Sy Hollands finds out for herself how frightening and unpredictable conditions can be when faced with attempting to make a quick escape. As the fire spreads, firemen and medical experts comment on Sy’s behaviour - whether she is making the right decisions to ensure her escape and survival, and whether she will have to be rescued when her position becomes potentially fatal.
