anything that breaks open the cabin with a fire letting smoke in means I need to get out in less than 2 mins.
Typically smoke and toxic combustion products will incapacitate in much less than 2 mins.

If you are fortunate enough to have a smoke hood in a cabin breach, all those between you and the exit will likely be prostrate in about 30 seconds.

Yesterday 13 young people were overcome in seconds before they could reach the exit

Admittedly aircraft interiors are more carefully regulated, but once the cabin is breached, it will be too late for many.
