Afternoon all,

I am about to give a safety talk on the rate fire spreads.

I was wondering if anyone had the above clip so I can demonstrate how quickly fire can spread or any other related fire clips on how quickly fire spreads.

Any help will be greatly received.

Hi, Bradford Disaster is probably owned and distibuted by ITV. If you google pine xmas tree fire or use the link below

Skooter1,
I've used the Front Room Fire and Front Room Fire 2 in the past. Although the setting is domestic it does show how rapidly fire can spread. As it filmed in a controlled setting (fire brigade in site etc) it is not so traumatic as the Bradford City Football Club fire. Personally I would only use the Bradford Fire if I knew my audience well and thought it would not cause too many problems. I know of people who have walked out of the room when the Bradford film has been shown as they find it too upsetting to watch.

Google Front Room Fire and you should find it. Believe it costs about £60.00

I had the original video of the fire as part of safety talks and it is quite distressing to watch. However, I have lent it out on Site but I may be able to track it down for you. I am not sure if is copyright. If it isn't it may be a good idea if you send a blank tape or disc and I could copy it for you.

Hi

From what I recall the families of the victims of the fire have requested that all copies of this film were destroyed or returned to the copyright holder. This is due to the distress caused to the families of the victims of the fire.

It is effective, but there are other films that can be used. The BBC also has a very effective audio file on its website under the on this day section that is probably just as effective at getting across the devastation caused. I have used it to accompany some photos that are available and left the rest up to the trainees imagination. It can be very effective, without the distress.

Thanks Declan. I was not aware of that. I will ensure that any copies we have on Site are destroyed once I have tracked them down!

Hi, I have been using the Bradford fire film for over 5 years approximately 3 fire safety courses per month. Whilst i agree there are some harrowing clips I have never had anyone walk out. i always explain to participants prior to showing it that there are such scenes and give them the option to leave the room. I have only had one person (he lost a child in a fire) not watch it. I also explain the benefits of watching a real fire in real time, the study afforded by it re how different people react, human behaviour etc.

I have no knowledge of it being withdrawn.

Cheers.
