This Encyclopædia Britannica Film titled “In Case of Fire - Fire Drills and Fire Safety” is an educational film from 1959 about fire drills and fire safety, produced by Larry Vust. The film highlights the importance of fire drills to prepare for real incidents, and exemplifies what to do in the case of a fire. It explains how feeling temperatures on doors can reveal exit routes, and laying low and covering one's heads can protect from smoke and heat, and it accentuates the importance of staying calm.

This is the first time I have seen this film since I first saw it in about Oct. 1963 as a first grader in school. For some reason the film made an impression on me such that I have always remembered it, and seeing it again checks out with my memory from 54 years ago!
Ditto for me-we watched this film also in I believe first grade-for me that would have been in the 1974-75 school year.
Here too...I've been looking for this gem for some time, having watched in first grade back in '78-'79!
Same here. I saw this film in second grade in 1976, and I remember the details of the school fire, the girl trapped in her second floor bedroom, and the movie theater fire.
I remember seeing this film, but I don’t remember if it was first grade in the 1966 - 67 school year. I do remember those Edwards adaptahorn buzzers though.
1959 . . . One year after the catastrophic Our Lady of the Angels Catholic School fire, which killed 92 students and 3 nuns. Many, many schools of that period, both public and private, were firetraps, built with brick exteriors, but had interiors of varnished wood and other combustible materials, no fire doors to prevent the spread of fire, glass transoms over classroom doors which would allow fire to spread unchecked into overcrowded classrooms, and fire alarms that were not connected to the local fire department. As a result of that fire, many schools were either shut down or extensively renovated to prevent a tragedy like that from ever happening again.
Interesting comment.More: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Lady_of_the_Angels_School_fire
Well said. You might want to read "To Sleep with the Angels," a comprehensive account of that fire by David Cowan and John Kuenster if you haven't done so already. Based on your comment, however, it seems like you might have already read that book, or one like it.
Scott Garnett I did read To Sleep with the Angels, which is a truly terrifying book.
My middle school was built in 1957, one year before that fire broke out, but it was built with thick concrete outside the brick exterior in case of a nuclear war. There may have been some combustible materials inside, and the interior seemed to largely have older wooden doors, i.e. for classrooms and such, but a few hallways may have had fire doors. The school did not have transoms over the classroom doors either, and even though the fire alarm system was the original ancient one to the school it was connected to the fire department anyways, but it had no automatic detection. But they do plan to do some renovations in the future, such as putting in a full fire sprinkler system, a modern up-to-date fire alarm system with smoke/heat detectors and strobe lights for the hearing impaired, and I assume less combustibles and more fire doors in the hallways and stairwells.
Yup, this is the same exact film. These old black and white training films from grade school used to give me nightmares as a kid. Now I'm the floor warden at work late in life. LOL
No worries --- the sprinklers in modern buildings pour out 40 gallons per minute. Sadly, we are far more concerned about active shooters these days.
I think it was the darn trumpets in the music that really grabbed me. LOL
@@RustyInSeattle Exactly yeah, active shooting and security threats are the main problem these days sadly
(1:38) The middle school my parents went to in the early 70s had fire alarms like that, actually. Now they have a more modern voice-evacuation system.
Boy am I glad that family and their German shepherd at the end were safe!
wileyk209zback this scene rips off all the kings men
@@LexiThenintendogamerandRailFan OPEN UP IN THE NAME OF THE KING. LOL
The first thing that I noticed is that none of the firefighters in this flick were wearing any kind of protective masks,/oxygen tanks like firefighters do today were just as likely to succumb to the smoke/gases from a fire as the people that they were attempting tom rescue.
That’s why firefighters were known as “smokeaters”
I remember a fire at my school happens a few months ago, we were scared because smoke was everywhere and could barely see, but we keep are calm and made it out alive
Congrats bro
when did we ask?
This film was made in the same year I was born in 1959. It was regularly shown in my grade school and I think even into middle school. It gave me nightmares LOL. Now I'm the floor warden at work. Sprinklers in modern buildings put out over 95 percent of the trouble. Imagine 40 gallons per minute from one sprinkler head. If it's bigger than a popcorn fire, get out. Love the scary brass music. Sorry they didn't feature a beloved cat instead of Ricky. LOL
[Scary brass players.]. "This is a way to go out. What do you do?" I say, "See the sprinkler? Hit it wit your shoe." Sorry if that rhymed. LOL
I remember seeing this film and it scared the breezes outta me.. I also recall a color version.
When I entered first grade in 1955, I did not enjoy it. Then one day we had a fire drill. So I thought.."Now wait a minute. This place could catch on fire?? Then what the hell am I doing here in a dangerous place." So instead of going back in to the building, I thought screw this, and bolted for home. I do remember a fire safety thing I saw on television in the 1950s that gave me a good scare. One scene showed a couple of kids trapped in their bedroom. I figured I would look on youtube just to see if I could find it here.
Rikki, the dog wakes her up to save her life and the dog is last to get out of the burning house, it usually works out that way.
I like the way the teacher in the white dress looks-very lovely and graceful-a true example of the lost art of womanhood from that period. REAL ladies.
Always loved the half-calf straight skirts.
As witness to history I think America would probably still have high moral standards if we hadn't let in from limelyland the Beatles and the mini skirt !
These days it's active shooter/lockdown/shelter-in-place drills. Sad state of affairs.
Is like I’m watching a fire safety video from the 1800s
Benjamin Electric/IBM/Simplex 4030 horns were used for this show.
I think they're actually Faraday Type 2s. My parents' middle school had them on an old Gamewell system from 1951. Most are still intact but were disconnected and painted over in favor of a Notifier NFS2-640 voice-evac system (they also disconnected and painted over the IBM school bells.)
@@ZakWolfthey did have a 4030 based on the type 2 so there is a slight possibility this is an IBM 4030 but more than likely this is an Autocall 121-S
1:38 never knew schools had the fire alarm horns in the 50's, i thought those horns were a 70's and 80's type of fire alarm.
There were fire horns and bells as far back as the 1920s.
@@sigglass2183 really, how do you know?
User Old School Fire Alarms said it
My middle school was built in 1957 and used old Federal Signal explosion-proof horns for the fire alarm. They sure were loud. Now they might finally get a new fire alarm system this summer.
@@sigglass2183 This particular school had Simplex/IBM 4030s they are fire alarm horns. But of course that is regular stock audio from something possibly like an old drier or something. They sound a lot different than that.
I have to ask, why was the teacher the first one out and why were children expected to hold open classroom doors and external fire doors? As a teacher myself in the event of a fire drill I am the last to leave the classroom closing the classroom door behind me and children are taught to pass over the door while evacuating.
There is such a thing as manners 😊
You can’t waste a teachable moment.
All kidding aside, so much has changed since then and the way you were taught is how it should be.
Girls wearing Saddle Oxfords...
12:06 voice evacuations back then XD
Do not use the stage lift
9:23 you would think they would have to stay behind the trucks...
So much for the 🐕
Why do the teachers keep paper in their hands? I would think they know their students without attendance sheets.
In moments of chaos and confusion it wouldn’t take a lot to become confused or have a child wander away from the crowd. The teacher would have a way of definitively knowing who made it out. 🤷♂️
18:18 Oh come on, take the whole window out!
Fire alarm systems can shut down HVAC now to prevent spread of smoke.
19:41 uh everything is going to be ok what about their house? Where are they gonna live 😂
At least they're out alive, DUMB-ASS.
It''s dramatization, although I couldn't help but think that hopefully that family has a fire insurance policy ;-)
