I ran in the building straight to that room, opened door, which starts the conflagration and then ran thru flames and right clicked on both chests 'pick up" and then ran next door and rescued trapped guy. Dropped chests in courtyard and had Astarion open them. Took a lot of damage for an empty chest and one with 7 gold.

well, it wasn't until my last playthrough that I realized that that chest was in the same building - I kept approaching it from the side because I looted what was unblocked instead of what was blocked - so I jumped in from the wing, grabbed the document, saved the guy, and jumped back out.
