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.
