It's film make up, to look like smoke inhalation. Casualties of fires or bombings often show these signs. If you look at the poor victims of 7/7, you will see this. The director of this PIF, especially asked for my advice on this subject, as I had recently rescued a young boy from a fire in Holland Road, West Kensington. The two firemen in the ad are my brother Brendon and myself. Both (then) serving firemen.

Hope this was of assistance.

OMG This is my dad and my uncle in this advert. I haven't seen it for years.

Really? Who are they playing?

One of my cousins was in an ad for children's clothes once but I'd love to know someone who appeared in a PIF. That's so cool!
