Starring SCTV's Joe Flaherty as Count Floyd, this fire safety video is a rare classic. It's still taught in some schools today, it's that comprehensive and entertaining.
Rest in Peace, Joe Flaherty. His Count Floyd character also appeared on "The Completely Mental Misadventures of Ed Grimely" and "Cartoon Planet" (spin-off from Cartoon Network's "Space Ghost Coast to Coast"). He co-starred with Dave Thomas in "Sesame Street Presents: Follow that Bird" as the Sleaze Brothers. John Candy who died in 1994 acted the State Trooper who arrested them for abducting Big Bird.
I remember back in the mid 90s the fire department in my city ran a fire safety program in the summer and they played this video. I was just randomly thinking about it and glad to see this again. I love nostalgia from my childhood.
I remember watching this when I was in kindergarten on a lesson in fire safety, or was it 1st grade? Oh well. Anyway, I was searching for something with vampire and smoke detectors, and here I found this, after all these years.
State Farm Insurance sent me the Curriculum with the Video about 20 years ago. Last year, for the 1st time I could not use the video because all the VCR's/TV's were removed. Bummer. I just found Count Floyd on the CZcams and he's back in my classroom! Thank you, CZcams. My students loved this and their homework tonight is to work with their families on fire safety and prevention ...and a way to get out in the event of a fire!!!
I've been looking for this for years. Lmao, I remember it from second grade circa '93. Ending song still stuck in my head to this day. Cringey but I learned something.
Saw this a couple decades ago for cub scouts; it's been an occasional memory since Also, what if they actually set Daniel on fire to do the stop, drop, and roll
yooooo I saw this in 5th grade and haven't been able to find it until now. I like how at 12:03 he "changes the battery" and "tests" an ESL 445 wired system detector with no battery or test button XD 😂

I just went searching for this video because I LOVED watching it in school, only to find it was uploaded by a dear childhood friend. Hi, Chad!
🤣 I was shocked no one had up uploaded it
so I had to do my part by borrowing it from a teacher before she retired.
R.I.P. , Count.😢
I remember being spooked the last time I saw this...25 years ago.
I think this is what I saw when I was young and got scared by it.
Same here. So and so, I never really saw it (dumb, I know)

Our children watched Smoke Detectives over and over in the nineties. (Children of a Fireman.) Couldn't get this out of my head if I had to! 😁
I miss the original Second City troupe. Best comedy ever to come out of Canada.
