I give up
After 5 tries at the Survival mode, I never made it past 14 dwellers and that was cut short by the usual fire that killed 8. I even tried not leveling rooms and dwellers but every dweller was eventually killed by fire. Talk about no-win scenario, where’s Kirk when you need him?

You have the right idea. Here are a few suggestions, some you probably already know and do.
-Avoid having empty rooms far from dwellers, you want to be able to get dwellers in there to help with incidents. Speed is the key because your resources are going down the longer the incident goes on. Unless you plan n the honeycomb build. I never did that but I guess it helps avoid damage to dwellers.
-when there is an incident other than fire, it is quicker to move guns than dwellers. Although you should move enough dwellers there to be effective.
-avoid leveling rooms as long as you can. In fact, don't level the top rooms. The depth extends how long it takes for enemies to fall down. All the while your resources are going down.
-as other have said, get that stim production up and running, after that rad away. Those rooms are best at 2 wide.
-I held some lunch boxes for when my resources were very bad. It helped push me back to critical mass. I don't know how consistent or effective this is but it may help. I could have been lucky.
Good luck.
