When there is a fire in a closed structure, the fire and smoke build up and move upward until it cannot go up any farther. Smoke travels upward until something stops it like a ceiling or a roof.

However, we can still frighten them easily by moving too quickly, making too much noise, or trying to move or restrain them. Many of them do come to "tolerate" us; very occasionally a young animal will actually seem to "like" us.
