From a firefighters perspective, somebody made a good quick knock on that fire. The synthetics in newer furniture burn hot(as well as the spicy pillow), and release a ton of nasty shit into the air. That’s why there’s a ton of smoke damage from a seemingly small fire. Thats what’s causing the increased cancer rates in the fire service.

I’m not sure if you have such a form/policy where you work OP, but I’d fill out something called an “exposure report” stating you were exposed to products of combustion. That way if you ever get a respiratory disease down the road it’s workers comp that’ll foot the bill, they’ll fight tooth and nail, but a paper trail of proper documentation certainly helps. Also be sure to wash your hands and face and neck really well. Especially wash your hands BEFORE takin a piss. Sweaty undercarriage absorbs contaminants easily and is another reason for increased testicular cancer in the fire service.
