I like this ad because it IS scarey and informative. I've been through two fires in my life-the first back in '79. Luckily my family and I were on vacation at the time, so no one was in the house. The second in 2005 was a grease fire that started in my apartment kitchen when I made the dumb mistake of turning my back on a pot I was trying to fry chicken in. Luckily, nobody was hurt in either fire. But I can safely say tyhat while this ad is scarey, a real fire is even scarier.

I notice that the VO's script was changed from "It will give you 10 precious minutes to get out." to "It will give you precious minutes to get out." Did they change it because they realized that how much time you have to get out depends on the thickness of the door? That's what I figure.

Hey, Army scientists! Flamethrower tanks! Get on it!

@LordlyJeremy The US used flamethrower tanks in the Pacific (against the Japanese) in WW2.

i didn't know a door could keep fire back for ten minutes. hmm, also had this described to me, as can't see vid, and is scary. hmm, blakcbearish runs to his den and hides. then again, if the fire is in his den, he runs out again and slams the door on the den.

Probably depends on the door, I doubt one of those nasty 1960's plywood doors would keep you safe for very long.
