Fire Power: Content Still Good

National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recently revisited the video Fire Power. I find it interesting that many safety educators often talk about the quality of this video. The clothing and house furnishings are tremendously out of date, but the content holds its value.

 

According to the recent blog post:

“In 1986 NFPA created the award winning video – Fire Power – which takes a firsthand look at the deadly dynamics of fire from ignition to full room involvement. At every twist and turn of the video, viewers geta  bird’s-eye view of fire’s path of destruction and are astonished at how rapidly smoke and flames from a small fire envelop a home, making escape virtually impossible.

 

Much has changed since Fire Power was produced. What has not changed is the awesome power of fire. For the 25th anniversary, NFPA revisits a few of the original scenes with the original narrator, Boston News Reporter Jack Harper, to talk about the dramatic footage and the role home fire sprinklers play in saving lives and property.”

The video is worth a watch. It stresses how effective the video was in 1986 – and how the information is still valid when teaching people about the dangers of fire. It shows all of the highlights of the original video. Total running time is only 7:12.
