First time I have ever heard that phrase.

Thanks to DuckDuckGo for the answer.

 

Step 3. Smoke Logging

If a building isn’t properly ventilated, it could become smoke logged in several minutes. While this smoke will primarily consist of entrained air, it’s also possible for a substantial amount of asphyxiates and toxic substances to be present in the smoke as well. In this scenario, the smoke could disorientate an individual within seconds. This same individual could die in a matter of minutes.

Some "Scandinavian" bar with room to rent.

 

Yes you are correct, was typing the story as the incident was live streamed, and missed that out.

As the name was carefully wiped from the photo I refrain from naming.

UPDATE
Fire Erupts in Pattaya Beer Bar and Guesthouse, Guests Trapped Inside

 

 

A fire broke out early on October 7, at a beer bar and guesthouse located at 219/33, Soi 13/1, Beach Road, Nong Prue, Bang Lamung, Chonburi. The fire caused chaos as six guests, including one foreign tourist were trapped inside the building.

 

The blaze started around 08:00 in a five-story commercial building, with the fire originating on the ground floor. The flames blocked the entrance, preventing some residents from escaping. Firefighters arrived quickly and extinguished the fire, eventually gaining control of the situation.
 

Rescuers then managed to bring the trapped residents out of the building, the foreign tourist was spotted on a second floor balcony and firefighters reached him by ladder, but were able to escort out through the building. One person suffered from respiratory issues caused by smoke inhalation and was taken to Bang Lamung Hospital.

 

The ground floor, which operated as a beer bar, suffered fire damage, while the upper floors, used as guest rooms, were not directly damaged by the fire but were filled with smoke. Emergency responders immediately worked to ventilate the building to clear the smoke.

 

Wannee Phanlai, 42, the guesthouse caretaker, explained that she was resting on the fifth floor when she received a phone call informing her of the fire. In a panic, she rushed downstairs, encountering smoke. She attempted to escape and found the fire crew already trying to put out the fire. She suspects the fire may have been caused by an electrical short circuit, as she heard an explosion while firefighters were battling the blaze.

 

Initial investigations are being conducted by Pol. Lt. Anan Mahakit-Asawakul from Pattaya City Police Station, and forensic teams are expected to further investigate the cause of the fire.
