NFPA and Jack Harper Revisit Fire Power

In 1986, NFPA® produced the award-winning video “Fire Power!” and collaborated with Jack Harper, a reporter from the Boston ABC affiliate WCVB, to narrate the story as the dramatic events unfolded. In 2011, Jack Harper and NFPA met again.
The film orchestrated a staged house fire in order to show how quickly fire spreads, the life-threatening conditions that develop, and the destructive aftermath.
In another demonstration, the same setup is used for the cause of the fire, and fire development. Once again, flames quickly take over the living room. This time, a residential fire sprinkler system activates and extinguishes the fire.

I remember seeing the original 1986 film as a second grader. I wish the entire original 1986 film was available in DVD quality, and not just these little snippets mixed in with updated commentary from 2010.

[@animasternorris6508]

You can buy the DVD online. But it's expensive

[@abyssater9177]

The original is on here as Burn the experiment

Great job NFPA! You did so great on this!

[@Duvmasta]

Can you upload the whole video please?

[@luisacarlottaferreira1396]

NFPA, why did you cut out the best part of the video where the sprinkler controls the fire?

In my 4th grade class a firefighter came and show my students this vid

Does anybody have the 1986 video uploaded anywhere?

[@traceysimpson2019]

I think it's called "Plan to get out alive"

[@brycelandon6387]

Look under "nfpafromvideotrainingdvd". You'll find it, albeit in poor VHS quality.

You need to take all the NFPA 20 books for fire pumps, burned them and start over. There are plenty of videos on my channel showing why.
