Hello everyone. I created an account with the sole purpose of inquiring about this so I hope I’m doing this right.
For the past few months I’ve been thinking about a video on fire safety I saw in elementary school, and expecting it to be easy to find I tried searching for it. I’m not a professional at finding things on the internet so it very well could’ve slipped through my fingers, but I couldn’t find anything about it. So I’m here writing to see if anyone knows of it or maybe remembers watching it as well.
Before anyone suggests, this video was not the one with Seemore the smoke detector and I know that for a fact. My memory of the video is fuzzy, hence why I can’t remember the name, but I do remember some details.
If I were to guess it looked to be from the 90s - early 2000s, and as the subject of this post suggests the smoke alarms featured spoke. The biggest detail I remember is one smoke alarm that the main family had in the home’s name was Fred, if my memory is correct. Fred was old but the family still believed he was functional because he still worked during tests. I also remember a little musical number where Fred sang about himself and kept forgetting his name. On that note, the effects from what I remember were very much borderline uncanny valley.
The other detail I remember is for whatever reason the family had a new smoke detector in the house as well, who was younger with a voice to match. The only line I remember specifically is near the end where a curtain or something catches fire, and the new smoke detector says something along the lines of “uh oh, smoke!”. The family gets out and the fire department, after putting out the fire, they tell the family about their smoke detectors and how the new one pretty much saved their lives because Fred didn’t beep. The main takeaway was the importance of replacing smoke detectors.
I’m genuinely unsure of how popular this is or even if it’s that hard to find, but if someone can dig it up or has any recollection of this video, please let me know.
Thank you
Edit : A few people have said I’m remembering the “Be Cool About Fire Safety” video with Seemore and that this could be an instance of the Mandela effect. I can see where you’re coming from but I know what I saw and I’d be very shocked if this was some false memory. The video with Seemore is not what I saw. I vividly remember watching this video in our school’s library and getting spoken to by our fire department before and after. The video I remember was probably at most half an hour.
