I am after suggestions for fire video clips - clips that show how quickly a fire spreads.
I have already used the Bradford City Fire Youtube video - which was very effective and moving for this purpose. Any other suggestions? Ideally I would like one of an office fire - seeing as my audience will be all the people working at our head office.

Two good videos I have used are: Dry Scotch Pine Tree Fire - this really shows how fast fire will spread. It comes from a suite of videos made by NIST, and you can see the whole lot here: The flashover parts are interesting. Stand by your pan (Kent Fire and Rescue Service). This one is good as intro music to a fire safety session.

The Station Night club fire in America - filmed by someone with a mobile phone from start to finish. Timings shown every 30 secs. Demonstates how quickly fire can spread and also how people react Phil W

Also worth looking at the Stardust Disco fire in Ireland in the early 80s. A reconstruction undertaken in one of the Cardington airship hangers quickly got out of hand and took the experts by surprise. See - Stardust was a tragic fire with many failings in the premises management - worth a google if you've not come across it before. There is an Irish investigative TV report here as well -

Thanks to all the suggestions so far - some really good suggestions. I am spoilt for choice now which is good because it means I can vary my post-evacuation debriefing sessions.
One suggestion that particularly stood out for me was from Rob M short and succinct suggestion, 'YouTube'. Youtube? What the devil is that? - Is it something to do with the "interweb" or whatever it is young people do on their Sinclair ZX80's these days? Seriously though, I had searched on youtube but it came up with too many irrelevant search results. However, now I have these suggestions, I can use the direct links people have given me and also follow the trail of suggestions that also pop up on youtube when viewing these clips.

Another good one is the one about human behaviour and the 'Where theres smoke' experiment. Drop me an e-mail with your addresss and I can send you some non copyright stuff on a disc.
