Hollywood Fire	comment	Fires are always an opportunity for major drama and heroics: How better to show that The Hero is a real badass than by having him literally walk through fire? And how better to show that he's selfless than by having him save someone (preferably a child) from a burning building? Hollywood Fires are distinguished by lots and lots of flames... so many flames, in fact, that they cover nearly every object around. The flames obscure sight and form obstacles that can be dramatically jumped through. Burning debris is all over the place and falls from the ceiling to dramatically block escape routes. Also, in more action-oriented shows, the fire tends to stay strangely toned-down and never exceed certain boundaries, allowing enough room for an epic fight over a fire. Interestingly enough, smoke is usually nowhere to be seen. Additionally, the burning environment is stable and does not collapse or fall (except for the already mentioned falling debris) for as long as it takes for the hero to strut his stuff. Only when he's leaving the fire does a burning building suddenly explode in flames and possibly collapse. In Hollywood, fire is dangerous and deadly, but not so much that the Main Characters can't charge in and get everyone out just in time without suffering so much as a first-degree burn. In reality, any fire bigger than a typical hearth (a few feet or so wide and generated by a few logs) is hot enough that it's dangerous for a human to even approach, let alone enter; a fire the size of a building would generate interior temperatures upwards of 1,000 degrees Celsius - way in excess of what any human being could survive. More importantly, any large burning area would be completely filled with very dense and very deadly smoke (the vast majority of people who die in fires are killed or incapacitated by the smoke, which could be considered a mercy for those who would otherwise have burned to death - but not so much for those who would otherwise have escaped, or never been reached by the flames). Needless to say, the incredible temperatures caused by actual towering infernos are infamous for the structural damage they can cause - they don't even need to melt things, merely making any metal joints and whatnot somewhat more pliant is more than enough to push a building past its engineering tolerances. There are two main reasons for all this: To give the viewer something to see as Real Life smoke often blocks sight down to a foot or less above the floor. For the safety of everyone on set. Typically, a film crew is only a few yards away from where the fire is, and the actors are sometimes 'in' the fire itself. In a Real Life fire, the film crew would be dead, the camera and film would be destroyed, and the actors and stuntmen would be extra crispy. Among other things. It may involve Outrun the Fireball. It also often the only explanation for how a Hero can walk Out of the Inferno and not be burnt to a cinder. See Convection, Schmonvection (and, in video games, Lava Is Boiling Kool-Aid) for the lava-related equivalent. For materials that burn far more easily in fiction than in Real Life, see Made of Incendium.

Hollywood Fire / int_2bb4ae0f	comment	Heroes: In the episode "Powerless", Niki saves Monica from a typical Hollywood Fire, but stays behind till the explosion. No One Could Survive That!. Subverted in the first season: Claire steps from the gutted remains of her home (after sedating Ted before he went critical and took out the neighborhood) covered in third-to-fourth-degree-burns. Of course, given her powers, by the time she made it into her father's arms halfway across the lawn she merely needs a shower and some clothes. But she was, for a time at least, hurt by the fire. Played straight between Volumes 3 and 4, when Sylar is incapacitated by a shard of glass into his brainstem, said to be the only thing that will kill a healer for good. When the building burns down around him, the glass melts first and he survives, despite the fact that a fire hot enough to melt glass would have burnt him to nothing long before. Also, a flashback episode in season 2 revealed that one character had started working as a fireman. Considering his intangibility powers, that came in pretty useful.

Her stepmother Vanessa only came away with a burn on her forearm where the flames got her, but the scene shows the entire room being on fire, and no mention of smoke damage. For Bloom, it's hand waved by them being Required Secondary Powers. Season 2 implies that the spirit of her fairy mother helped her put out the fire immediately. While fire fairies seem to be protected from their magically conjured fire, there are moments where other characters are standing near Bloom when she's conjured fire and don't seem to be affected. It is revealed that Bloom has the Dragon Flame, which is more powerful and primal, so another hand wave could explain it.

More emphasis is placed on the one arrow he takes to the back minutes later! When Esmeralda is nearly burned at the stake at the climax, she's trapped in the fire for almost a full minute before Quasimodo rescues her, but the flames never touch her. Though she does lose consciousness from smoke inhalation, she's perfectly fine after she revives. Quasimodo isn't injured either as he pulls her from the pyre, then grabs the burning stake from its foundation to fight off the soldiers. Averted in the German stage adaptation (see below).

The flames engulf both, but since the boy is "shielded" by Clark, he's unharmed. This is particularly strange, as the meteor in question is a lump of kryptonite, so Clark should be in worse shape than the boy. And somewhat averted in season 10 where Hawkman shields himself from a fireball with his wings, only when he is next seen diving out of the window he is fine, but his wings are on fire.

Hollywood Fire / int_a3d6b3b7	comment	The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries: The episode "Mystery of the Flickering Torch" has Frank & Joe trapped in a small closet while fire rages outside; the only sign they have that the fire even exists is a bit of smoke under the door. When they finally break out, the fire has completely engulfed the office in lots & lots of flames, though not the closet, and the brothers dive heroically through the now-smokeless fire to the next room...where there's absolutely no sign of any fire at all, save for the firefighters coming into the building. Second season episode "Arson & Old Lace" has an arsonist setting several raging fires in an office building. Massive amounts of flames rage in an empty office, where the arsonist has been knocked out by an explosion. Yet the flames very carefully don't touch her, nor does the massive fire & intense heat interfere with Frank and Joe dragging the woman out of the room. We're also shown many stock footage scenes of fire fighters battling out-of-control fire all over the walls, ceiling, and floor. On top of that, Joe detours to help a young child trapped in an office; flames come roaring in to cover the ceiling and trigger an explosion, yet Joe ducks behind a half-wall and, aside from a bit of soot-smudge, takes no damage from either fire nor explosion.

Hollywood Fire / int_b5c89107	comment	In the film adaptations of Carrie, the titular character sets her gym on fire and calmly walks through the inferno to survey the destruction. The 2002 version might have a Hand Wave, where she goes into a trance while causing the massacre, and she's seen clearing a path for herself to avoid the electronic scoreboard electrocuting her like everyone else, so she's possibly protecting herself with some psychic shield. The 2013 film has her levitating off the stage to get out, but Miss Desjardin is otherwise fine from simply being left there while the fire is going on. Notably in the book, the trope was averted; Carrie runs out of the gym first and then causes her destruction from the outside, and the only survivors are the ones who make it out through the fire doors before Carrie locks them.

Hollywood Fire / int_d14bb14a	comment	In what might be a Call-Back to the above (to the point of reusing the music), Spider-Man 2 features a powerless Peter Parker heading into a burning building to save a toddler. The fire itself plays it straight as there should be a lot more smoke billowing out of the building, not just the flames in every window. On the other hand, Peter is shown being treated for smoke inhalation by the paramedics as the firefighters finish putting out the blaze.

Even given the fact that he is immortal and heals quickly, he should have been vaporized given the heat created by the fire, But no... he strides out of the fireball completely unharmed, accompanied by dramatic music and a wind that causes his Badass Longcoat to blow behind him.

Hollywood Fire / int_d8555a95	comment	The Evil Within 2 also opens with Sebastian bursting into his burning home to try and rescue his daughter, Lily; parts of the upper floor are collapsing around him and he reacts to the heat and smoke, but neither is able to stop him from getting to her room upstairs. Perhaps justified because it's a recurring nightmare for Sebastian, who is haunted by the fact that he wasn't around to even try saving her when the fire actually did happen.

Hollywood Fire / int_ec8b8ba1	comment	Most "firefighter" movies like Ladder 49 and Backdraft do try to avoid this trope, mostly because in that genre of movie it's a lot harder to get away with not doing the research. In the page image the lack of smoke is actually justified in that room in the background appears to have flashed over, meaning that the smoke itself is on fire. Two humans coming out of those conditions as anything other than charred corpses, however, is somewhat less justified (in the actual film, as opposed to the publicity still, the room is filled with thick smoke and a good deal less fire).
