"Fire Is" - DVD - English Version

Focus on Educating Children & Families on Fire Safety: In recent years, Dr. Field’s particular interest in life-saving procedures led him to investigate disturbing trends in fire safety records in major U.S. cities. In a series of news reports in the late 1980’s and later a documentary on the same subject, Dr. Field found that as it relates to fire, it was safer to live in a foreign city like Tokyo, than in a major U.S. metropolitan city. Fast forwarding to 2006 and partially as a byproduct of his many news reports, Dr. Field produced FIRE IS… to help teach grandparents, parents and their children the truth about fire. The documentary utilizes footage of actual fires, real firefighters and victims, without the use of actors and is comprised of five 20 minute teaching modules entitled: Fire Is Black, Fire is Hot, Fire is Fast, Fire is Smoke & Gas and Fire is Emergency. “Those at the greatest risk of fire are seniors and children. Most seniors have been fortunate in never having experienced the frightening impact of fire and grow careless about fire safety in the kitchen or elsewhere in the home. They are now at an age when they have become most vulnerable and when injured suffer greatly,” Dr. Field told American Retiree. - More info available from http://www.americanretiree.com/activist/articles/frankfield.shtml
