Staying inside would not help you from chloride (commonly known as chlorine) used for swimming pools if it is on fire because chlorine is a strong oxidizer, meaning it can support combustion even though it doesn't burn itself, and fumes can easily spread indoors, making it crucial to evacuate the area immediately if a chlorine fire occurs.
