Yeah, but that's not as much fun ;).

They also advise you to not open a door (put your hand on the door first to see if it's hot) if you think there is a fire on the other side and you want to check why the smoke alarm is going off in the other room.
I learned that the hardway about 8 years ago. The result was not fun at all.
The advice is also not to use the palm of your hand, but the back instead. The reason being that if you are sweating, your ability to feel the heat may be impaired on the palm, and also that if the door is very hot, you risk burning your palm, which you may need to help you climb down an escape ladder out of a building.
