how do they reenact this stuff? especially the parts with the fire, this is before they had fancy computer generated effects fire.

@SpiderRider3 They had a stuntman with a fireproof suit.

We ALL did stuff like this when we were kids. Think how lucky most of us were.....

@gfinn08 Sometimes they are the real people. The victims are usually actors, but the rescuers almost always play themselves.

@pillowcase97 Painkillers suppress breathing so they are especially dangerous for a badly injured person.

My friend, who was trapped in a fire and burned extensively, said that he COULDN'T drop and roll when he was first set on fire, b/c every logical, rational thought left his mind the second he started burning.

One of his co-workers helped him, someone who died before coming out.

He used to work in Tower 1 of the World Trade Center. His burns today look like someone who got them during a war.

@vickiormindyb That is another reason I wish rescue 911 was still on. So they could do a special dedicated to the heroes of 9/11

@pillowcase97 EMT's are not authorized to give pain meds unless a doctor approves, because he could have a reaction to the pain meds.

the lesson never leave children unsupervised!!!!

[MyPinky2003]

I think the parents should of checked them for matches and made sure they wouldn't of played with them. But hey,their alive and were happy. :D

[TheBne123456]

This accident could have been preventable if the matches and gasoline had been locked up

And this is why dumb kids should NEVER play with matches.
