This Encyclopædia Britannica Film titled “In Case of Fire - Fire Drills and Fire Safety” is an educational film from 1959 about fire drills and fire safety, produced by Larry Vust. The film highlights the importance of fire drills to prepare for real incidents, and exemplifies what to do in the case of a fire. It explains how feeling temperatures on doors can reveal exit routes, and laying low and covering one's heads can protect from smoke and heat, and it accentuates the importance of staying calm.

This is the first time I have seen this film since I first saw it in about Oct. 1963 as a first grader in school. For some reason the film made an impression on me such that I have always remembered it, and seeing it again checks out with my memory from 54 years ago!

1959 . . . One year after the catastrophic Our Lady of the Angels Catholic School fire, which killed 92 students and 3 nuns. Many, many schools of that period, both public and private, were firetraps, built with brick exteriors, but had interiors of varnished wood and other combustible materials, no fire doors to prevent the spread of fire, glass transoms over classroom doors which would allow fire to spread unchecked into overcrowded classrooms, and fire alarms that were not connected to the local fire department. As a result of that fire, many schools were either shut down or extensively renovated to prevent a tragedy like that from ever happening again.

Well said. You might want to read "To Sleep with the Angels," a comprehensive account of that fire by David Cowan and John Kuenster if you haven't done so already. Based on your comment, however, it seems like you might have already read that book, or one like it.

My middle school was built in 1957, one year before that fire broke out, but it was built with thick concrete outside the brick exterior in case of a nuclear war. There may have been some combustible materials inside, and the interior seemed to largely have older wooden doors, i.e. for classrooms and such, but a few hallways may have had fire doors. The school did not have transoms over the classroom doors either, and even though the fire alarm system was the original ancient one to the school it was connected to the fire department anyways, but it had no automatic detection. But they do plan to do some renovations in the future, such as putting in a full fire sprinkler system, a modern up-to-date fire alarm system with smoke/heat detectors and strobe lights for the hearing impaired, and I assume less combustibles and more fire doors in the hallways and stairwells.

(1:38) The middle school my parents went to in the early 70s had fire alarms like that, actually. Now they have a more modern voice-evacuation system. Boy am I glad that family and their German shepherd at the end were safe!

The first thing that I noticed is that none of the firefighters in this flick were wearing any kind of protective masks,/oxygen tanks like firefighters do today were just as likely to succumb to the smoke/gases from a fire as the people that they were attempting tom rescue.

This film was made in the same year I was born in 1959. It was regularly shown in my grade school and I think even into middle school. It gave me nightmares LOL. Now I'm the floor warden at work. Sprinklers in modern buildings put out over 95 percent of the trouble. Imagine 40 gallons per minute from one sprinkler head. If it's bigger than a popcorn fire, get out. Love the scary brass music. Sorry they didn't feature a beloved cat instead of Ricky. LOL

When I entered first grade in 1955, I did not enjoy it. Then one day we had a fire drill. So I thought.."Now wait a minute. This place could catch on fire?? Then what the hell am I doing here in a dangerous place." So instead of going back in to the building, I thought screw this, and bolted for home. I do remember a fire safety thing I saw on television in the 1950s that gave me a good scare. One scene showed a couple of kids trapped in their bedroom. I figured I would look on youtube just to see if I could find it here.

I think they're actually Faraday Type 2s. My parents' middle school had them on an old Gamewell system from 1951. Most are still intact but were disconnected and painted over in favor of a Notifier NFS2-640 voice-evac system (they also disconnected and painted over the IBM school bells.)

I have to ask, why was the teacher the first one out and why were children expected to hold open classroom doors and external fire doors? As a teacher myself in the event of a fire drill I am the last to leave the classroom closing the classroom door behind me and children are taught to pass over the door while evacuating.

In moments of chaos and confusion it wouldn’t take a lot to become confused or have a child wander away from the crowd. The teacher would have a way of definitively knowing who made it out. 🤷‍♂️
