Open the air vent, or the port hole (which is just a hole), or open the door a crack, and can spend about two weeks in the bunker as long as you have water with you (which you should).
By then, hopefully someone has reported you missing and the rescue team will clear the fallen tree.
True, I was thinking about all the smoke in the air, but after some time the threat of smoke would go as the fire (at least should have) burnt passed to be safe to open vents.
Sure - but it’s better than being above ground in conditions like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUs6iUpa4U4 - watch all the way to the end if you haven’t seen it, really scary stuff.
I used to live in a fire risk area - one of these bunkers would’ve been great peace of mind. Sometimes you just don’t know if it’s time to evacuate or not, and we were in a valley with only two roads out. When the weather is perfect for fires, there’s never just one fire in the area. Having both our evacuation routes blocked was a very real risk. Some people had homes in a big clearing wiht no tree
Also, what would a person do if something fell on top of the entrance? Running out of oxygen and trapped inside, sounds like a really warm coffin.

agree. honestly it’s just not the sort of disaster that a bunker is suitable for

you are right, evacuation routes can be cut leaving not much choice
