One Spark, One Flame, One Burning Candle...

WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-YEAH!
Sorry, for some reason One Vision by Queen struck me as the obvious choice for inspiration, seeing as the Home Office have now taken direct ownership of the Fire Kills campaign (it lives! hurrah! nightmares all around once again!) and given us this gem, entitled 'it only takes one accident'.
Funny story. Well. Not so funny. I have severe OCD, and I wonder if it's in part brought on by my love of PIFs. I certainly know my contamination phobia was sparked by those food safety ones where they'd flourescented the germs and you can see them spreading everywhere. But I also have routine-based OCD which means I check sockets, plugs, doors, cooker, basically anything that could go wrong. It's a problem I'm trying to sort out, there's an internal dialogue that tells me if I don't do these things, I'll die a horrific death, or I won't but everything that happens will be my fault because I didn't do this routine. It's not nice. However, the radio version of this PIF came on when I was in the car with my dad, and quite honestly - it's as if that internal voice had leaped out of my head and made its way onto the radio. It starts out with inocuous things you forget, then goes 'did you remember to check the plugs? did you remember to check the cooker?' all the while a fire crackling noise starts to sound in the background. My heart raced. I think I had a mini panic-attack.
But my PIF obsession somehow lives on. Unless a therapist tells me to stop watching them. Even then, I would've thought it's kind of an exposure therapy in itself to be confronted with what you fear every now and then?....
Wow, that went deep.
Also, I am so so SO sorry for not having uploaded any original content soon. My chronic illness has...not been getting better, to say the least. That, and my office still isn't unpacked/decorated even a few months after the move. The move quite honestly fucked my health. So I'm afraid the PIFReview hiatus is something I can't really put a number on. It'll come back when I'm fit and well enough to plop myself in front of a camera and record.
I'll still be archiving of course, and I will definitely BE back. I just can't tell you when I'm afraid. I'm trying my best. In the meantime, I love you all.

One spark! One flame! One fire! Hey-Hey! Just gimme gimme gimme gimme FRIED CHILDREN!

[@LoveThePIF]

I was honestly surprised to see Fire Kills come back - in a positive way, though. It's great to see you back, too. Get well soon!

[@PeachyReviews]

I heard the radio advert and thought it was maybe just a governmental campaign (after I recovered from having a bit of a panic) but I decided to seek it out and saw the video version - imagine my delight at seeing our old friend Fire Kills's logo at the end! Thanks! I am trying my best

[@TheRealClankZoka]

Huh, who knew Fire Kills would return, I was surprised to see this on telly like “they have finally returned, at last!”.

[@jaydedjen110]

The stove alone would make me anxious...

[@Emilightning]

Oof, seeing a Fire Kills PIF in a shiny new 2019 setting is... kind of creepy? I'm so used to looking at their old stuff that it's jarring to see these modern folks and their modern fire hazard-filled houses. Also, I can relate. PIFs have made me probably more paranoid than I need to be (as I rambled on about in my fire safety review) and just... fuck brains sometimes, am I right? Anyway I'm really sorry you've been ill. Don't worry about uploading; I hope you get everything sorted out soon!

[@AllyGatorAnimator]

It was a pleasant (or not depending on how you look at it), surprise to see Fire Kills being given the spark of life. Funnily enough when I first saw this one I thought "hmm, I wonder when Peachy will bring this up?" I'm the same when it comes to routine-based OCD, especially with electrical sockets and the cooker, that radio ad from how you described it sounds like something that would tip me over (I remember an old TV PIF I saw where the television screen flashes up with something like "you did remember to turn the oven off, didn't you?" which did NOT sit well with me). Take care, we all love you too and are wishing you all the best.

I heard the audio version of this campaign when I was listening to Spotify. It weirded me out hearing the beeping and the fire crackling considering I was walking to and fro on the main street where I lived. XD

[@PeachyReviews]

Gah, I don't think I'd have been able to handle that,

[@Kee-Lo]

Good to see you back Peachy, saw this on easports channel.

[@StagecoachMANALX300]

Great news! Take care and rest easy babes, love you too! ❤️😘

[@PeachyReviews]

Thanks!!

[@GoatAndDog]

Now to make a parody where the "accident" is the person who started the fire.

[@PeachyReviews]

"It only takes one absolute fucking lemon of a human being, a walking accident..."

[@GoatAndDog]

😂

[@menslady125eif2590]

I have OCD, too.

[@PeachyReviews]

Love to you. It's difficult.

[@scottylewis8124]

I didn't know you were a Queen fan peach.

[@PeachyReviews]

All my life!

[@scottylewis8124]

@@PeachyReviews this was more fucked up than that Canadian PSA that involved a women getting burned by oil.

[@dannystavs2003]

Guess who's back, back again? (Sorry, I had to do it.)

[@darrennobbs3488]

[@sophiebitzinger4445]

Wait, you're still alive?!

[@PeachyReviews]

I know, sometimes I can't even believe it.

[@craigthurston7731]

Great to see you back Peachy, I thought you would rate this when I first saw it. Did you see the Electrical Safety First ones released on Twitter at about the same time? twitter.com/ElecSafetyFirst/status/1106585255484551170?s=19
