Except in this case, there will be no "All clear." The trusting, childlike Eloi victims are all trapped inside, and it looks like there's no one from a more rational time to save them from the evil Morlocks.
Unfortunately, the illusion of "safety" is just that, an illusion. She was "safe" from the potential danger that a fire represented, but unsafe from the danger of the extreme cold, especially since she was wet and shoeless. Even students that were dressed for indoor conditions were in danger from exposure to the cold for more than five minutes.
