Forest Fires?
Answer:
More than likely, you will not survive unless you can leave the home and seek shelter somehow. If the headfire has reached you, it may consume the oxygen around you, suffocating you. It will draw the air out of you, and any superheated air you intake will put you into respiratory arrest. However, if you are beseiged by a flank of the fire, it may burn low enough or fast enough for you to have a chance of survival. In this case, if you could find an area void of fuels (grass, brush) and protect yourself with a shield of some kind (picturing an old-time bathtub), then you may survive. The key is to have your body on the ground, breathing in air directly at ground level.
As far as the house, homes rarely stand a chance against wildfire unless mitigation efforts are in place (Firewise) or firefighters are defending your home, it will likely fall victim to the fire.

Get in the bath tub and cover it up with something fireproof. Either way your dead. Are you asking this question becuse your house is surrounded by a fire.
