The video seems to confirm that given that you have flame in the cabin, once a door is open you have to move fast due to the chimney effect. The problem is that passengers have no experience in rapid evacuations.

I've seen some cabin interiors where even the cabin roof was locally burned through far foward of a fire origin after the doors were opened, while no burn throughs existed anywhere else in the cabin.
