A modification.....
....is required as currently this will still result in death.

Instead of a straw, use 6 foot of hose (the shower hose will be fine). Push some damp cotton wool down the end (not too tightly) to serve as a smoke filter, and hold the end out of the water with your foot. Ensure the rest of the hose runs underwater to your mouth.

This will remove excess smoke, and also cool the superheated air to a point where u can actually breathe it.

I personally would also leave the tap running, and use lukewarm water. No point being chilly, if it's so hot it can boil the water, you're dead anyway.

OK perhaps my first attempt was flawed and could be modified.

A shelter may be required over the top of the bath to prevent debris falling in and injuring you and your family.

Also run the majority of the hose through a bath of ice water to ensure cooler air supply.
