| - The three Baudelaire children were encouraged by their parents to go to Briny Beach before the fire occurred, and so, escaped. If the Baudelaire parents were, in fact, aware that the fire would occur, they were unable - or chose not - to save themselves, despite the Mansion having a secret passage way to the apartment of Jerome Squalor. As stated above, it is possible that Bertrand and Beatrice knew that they would be constantly targeted by Olaf and sacrificed their own lives to throw him off the trail of their children and the fortune - if this was their plan then, in the long run, it worked: Olaf died and their children escaped him, though they did have to escape him over and over again.

| - The three Baudelaire children were encouraged by their parents to go to Briny Beach before the fire occurred, and so, escaped. If the Baudelaire parents were, in fact, aware that the fire would occur, they were unable - or chose not - to save themselves, despite the Mansion having a secret passage way to the apartment of Jerome Squalor. As stated above, it is possible that Bertrand and Beatrice knew that they would be constantly targeted by Olaf and sacrificed their own lives to throw him off the trail of their children and the fortune - if this was their plan then, in the long run, it worked: Olaf died and their children escaped him, though they did have to escape him over and over again. Due to the following statement on page 13 of The Snicket File, the children believe it is possible that one of the parents survived, but the survivor turned out to be Quigley Quagmire: : Because of the evidence discussed on page nine, experts now suspect that there may in fact be one survivor of the fire, but the survivor's whereabouts are unknown.
