Pay attention to who is around you. Etc. For many years, I traveled on business anywhere from 75 - 100% of my time. A couple of hints from my firefighter son: On airplanes: count the seat backs to the nearest exit. Get an exit row if you can, or close to. In hotels: before you settle in, count the doors to the nearest staircase. Hotels: don't stay above the 8th floor. That is as high as any big city ladder truck can reach. If you can: Get out! Always keep in mind that in a fire, you likely will not be able to see much, there likely won't be any lights, and you may be crawling on the floor.

I guess it's not too often that ATC hears "Mayday Mayday" from the ground. http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/video/2015/sep/09/british-airways-fire-mayday-mayday-were-evacuating-audio

They are designed to contain damage and looks like it didn't. That crew was fortunate it occurred at roll-out. 90 seconds later & it could have be much worst during initial climb out
