Fool's Gold - Alternative Tactics for Flamethrowers (No Achievements/Trophies)

If you don't care about achievements/trophies, instead of the tactics detailed in the last section, try this: Enter the room with the pool and rusty tank. Deal with the dog and collect the flares as usual. Make sure both doors on the lower level, between the pool room and the previous room, are closed. If you approach them, they should close automatically.

Then climb the stairs to the upper level.

Shoot out the window near the shotgun shells (making it impossible to get the "True Komsomol Member" achievement/trophy).

Grab the ammo (or leave it and return for it later). The 2 enemies with flamethrowers appear inside the pool room and remain trapped there, as long as the lower doors are closed.

Take a running jump out the window...

...to land near the far wall of the room where you started.

Roll, draw pistols, and back up if necessary, so Lara's back is against the wall.

If you stay close to the wall, you can then shoot the bad guys through the upstairs windows without taking fire damage. Just be sure not to step on the tile in front of the water-filled opening until both enemies are dead, since this will re-open the doors. Of course, allowing them to shoot fire voids the "Ordered to Be Shot" achievement/trophy.
