Adult fire victims are often found near a door because this location can provide a means of escape. In emergency situations, individuals instinctively try to move toward the closest exit to escape danger. During a fire, the door represents a potential way to escape the smoke and flames. Additionally, as firefighters conduct search and rescue operations, they typically start at exit points, making these areas essential locations to check for victims.

While victims may also be found in other areas, they are often closer to exits rather than in corners or far ends of the building, as heat and smoke rise, leading individuals to seek the nearest way out.
