Reading this made me think of how newer homes and furniture burn faster, giving you less time to escape a fire. Research shows that 30 years ago, you had about 17 minutes to escape a house fire. Today it's only 3 or 4 minutes.

I don't know how it is in US, but I think the 17 minutes vs 3 minutes you say comes from this video: https://youtu.be/bSP03BE74WA?t=165 https://youtu.be/bSP03BE74WA?t=165 which depicts a typical American setting.
