Produced by Coronet Films as part of their Coronet Instructional Films series in 1953, this black and white educational short titled “Fire Exit Drill At Our School” discusses the importance of fire safety preparedness at schools. The film tells the story of an elementary school who runs consistent fire safety drills after a local fireman comes to visit and gives a presentation at the school. Educational collaborator Francis R. Scherer, chairman of the Committee on Safety to Life National Fire Protection Association, worked with Coronet Films group to make this film. Coronet Films (also known as Coronet Instructional Media, Inc.) was a leading producer and distributor of many documentary shorts shown in public schools across America from the 1940s through the 1980s. The company was founded by David A. Smart in Glenview, Illinois and the collection is owned and distributed today by Phoenix Learning Group, Inc.

If you are in a public place and there is a fire alarm, the door through which you entered may not be the best exit. Case in point: the 2003 Station nightclub fire in Rhode Island.
That incident was so so sad 😞 I remember when that happened. The pyrotechnics caused the fire, I’m also old enough to remember “Beverly Hills Supper Club” which killed a lot of people as well. If you’re not familiar with the incident here’s a link

This incident happened in Kentucky 1977 and 165 people died
Interesting; check out those ancient-looking Edwards dual-projector horns! (I can tell they are Edwards by the base, from the 1930s-40s, before Edwards redesigned the Adaptahorns in the early 1950s.)
Growing up in the 90s the schools I attended used those loud Autocall horns blasting the cadence marchtime signal (4🔈pulses, pause & repeat) during fire drills.
I don't know how many times I got the crap scared out of me when the buzzer went off in school.
Damn thing was so loud!
Your not the only one
Yup...this. I hated being in the hallway alone with these loud buzzers.
Same here! And despite being a 1990s kid/2000s teen, my public schools still had old fire alarm systems from the 1950s-1970s in use! (My first elementary school's old Simplex 4208 system began failing over eight years ago, so now they have mundane System Sensor SpectrAlert Advances that aren't as loud as the old Simplex horns they replaced, but still loud enough to badly startle you.)
I never had any old fire alarms in my schools (I was a 2000s kid) but still I hated those alarms. They are so loud for no dang reason other than 'to encourage you to get out'. I hated using the bathroom with those alarms in there. It was awful when the teacher would make you be quiet because then the fire alarm would be more jarring. The people who program them weren't thinking about us kids with autism, who especially hate loud noises
I still do. My law school has the old buzzers all over. First time it went off I thought I was having a stroke. Very damn loud.
I've never seen a group of kids so happy to have beaten their record for the fastest fire drill evacuation.
Oh Richard! We were so worried about you!! Were you rifling thru the teachers pocketbook before exiting the school?
Listen carefully and you’ll hear a light tapping from inside one of the lockers. It was the only way Richard could get away with it.
Coronet Instructional Films plus Bell & Howell projectors. It was an unbeatable combination until the videocassette recorder came along and gave us a small, low-definition image.
absolutely hooked on this channel !
@@braininavatnow9197 me, too ... did u watch the ACE experimental planes (?) ... interesting and funny ...
Back in the day, I used to get "fired" up about these sorts of drills. But not anymore.
I remember a very long drill in '74 that turned out to be a bomb scare.
First drill I experienced in first grade it scared the students so bad we ran like hell to get out of the building. Of course since the school was on an army base in Seoul, Korea, we thought the Chinese were coming!
By the way, I think Richard set the fire. Pyro!
I didn't know that they had Fire Alarm systems back in " The Dark Ages" LOL
Electrically-operated fire alarm systems like that date back to at least the 1920s. They just had big relay-based control panels with AC output, bells or horns, and pull stations. No strobe lights, no smoke or heat detectors, no battery backup... times were different back then.
We listened to Miss McGowan or she would hit you with that blackboard pointer stick
0:15 that looks and sounds like an Edwards mechanical horn!
It's crazy how weird the past is compared too now but crazy how we all do the same!
sounds like they recorded that ac-powered horn in the studio
Next time there's a fire drill, don't be like Richard.
When Richard was drafted for Vietnam he was nicknamed Private Pyle in basic training….
Every class has a "Richard." Today, he'd be considered neurodivergent.
Alarms in back in the day were very horrifying well I can speak for the 90s and 2000s by hearing this alarm I would have walked out really fast that alarm is loud
This is the film i most recall...it scared me seeing it in Kindergarten, 1at & 2nd grade.
Richard is my hero.
Richards small bladder almost got him killed
5:22 nowadays your told to leave everything and get out during a fire drill
Anyone interested in this may also be interested in "Our Obligation" on A/V Geeks' channel. Same era, same material, but much more adult and serious.
Oh, that film was REALLY scary and upsetting! I think it was even scarier than "Duck and Cover" and all the other nuclear war education films at the time (even though the threat of nuclear war was very real at that time, the probability of an elementary school burning down was, and unfortunately always will be, greater than a nuclear bomb destroying a city).
aint no way im walking out
And thay stand in the field and watch the school burn down and thay clap and cheer
the same thing should take place at home, so you not have to think "WHAT TO DO"!!!!!, or how to get out, staying low to the floor to avoid smoke and heat.
@@braininavatnow9197 , that is good that you know what to do ,most people would freeze not knowing what to do. I have a central fire alarm system in my house. it is an older "edwards" fire alarm panel, that is relay logic, coupled with" simplex" smoke/ heat detectors. all alarm points are illuminated, at the panel, so I know the location of the alarm drop. all alarm points are supervised, and will generate a trouble alarm if the smoke/ heat detectors are not communicating with the fire alarm panel( the hvac system is also interlocked with the fire alarm system ,and will shut down should there be a fire alarm). also I rewired my house in pipe, all the romex cable has been removed. all circuits are ground fault/ arc fault protected .all feeder circuits are fuse protected, including the main service .I am not interested in having any house fires to start with!!!.
@@braininavatnow9197 , fires are not a "funny" thing, when you hall out dead/ burned bodies!!!!,thanks for sharing.
8:25-Richard started the fire by roasting Twinkies in the microwave.
Microwave ovens were the stuff of science fiction back then…
They did have microwaves back in these days, but they weren’t very common.
@@neohistoryfan1014 I didn’t know I thought they were invented in like the 1960s/70s
@@STR2K6 That’s when the standard ones came out!
Edwards 314 horns I think
Looks like old Richard picked a bad time to take a dump.
Richard chucks a chair or two through a window. And off he goes into town with a few bucks in his pocket. He'll call from a pay phone at the local tavern...
Sadly we have to add active shooter drills to the list of drills. Also quit hating on Richard!
Richard smoked a quick spliff when he got outside.
During this era, there were probably more air raid drills than fire drills in American schools.
Look for the mischievous lad with purple ink on his hand from pulling the fire alarm
Larry Mondello could learn a thing or two from Richard.
This is actually in co!or!
look at all those beautiful white children
This is what they took from us
If Ted Cruz gets his way, there will only be 1 door out of schools and fire drills will be way more fun.
And it will be locked!
I don't get it
@@TheDieselbutterfly So, you're Republican then?
RIP America
It's crazy how weird the past is compared too now but crazy how we all do the same!
