Watch History of Fire

Safeguard Your Family! Today nearly every home is equipped with a working fire detector - it's the law in most communities. Yet 50 years ago, fire detectors were a new item on the market and people had to be sold on the idea of using them to protect their families and save lives. These clips have been fully restored, saved in digital format and persevered for the benefit of history.
