Fire Busters

From the snappy opening montage of "fire busters" quenching huge blazes to the last shots of the "hot" firetrucks, kids will be enthralled with this inside look into the lives of real-life firefighters. Hosted by John Hostetter, who plays a personable and entertaining "fire buster" called Curly (he's balding), this video gives us a tour through his fire station, offers valuable fire safety tips, and shows exciting, fast-paced footage of the tools of the trade: the firetruck, helicopters, planes, and fire boats. A real respect for the job of "fire buster" is conveyed, and many female and minority firefighters are shown. The editing is impressive, transitions between segments are smooth, and the script is entertaining and informative. Sure to be welcome in any school or home with action-loving kids from preschool to primary ages, this very affordable video is "hot!" Highly recommended. Editor's Choice. Aud: K, E, P. (E. Gieschen)
