- Wrapping up the first series of Love The PIF's countdowns, it's a 50-piece countdown of my favourite subject of PIFs, fire safety! More countdowns will come, but I want to enjoy my summer doing more than just countdown videos online and then it's time for me to go to do my military service, so expect me to upload much more seldom this autumn...
I've relaxed my policy on watermarks: non-commercial watermarks are OK, because sites like TVARK are doing God's work by preserving these ads. I also let one commercial watermark slip in, but as the site no longer exists, I don't mind.
No outtakes this time, but I'm sure you'll manage. Sorry about the bad fire effects, I don't spend money on fancy video editing or effects, so that's what you get. Also, part VII of #StayHomeWithPIFs - and the last part - even though staying at home might not be mandatory in your area anymore.
Bush Fire PSA:
“This is fine”.
As an Australian who is barely over the Jan/Feb bushfires, #34 is heartwrenching.
The little girl and the horses 😭😭😭
I've had my childhood home burnt down back in like 2002 (it was a pretty long time ago, I think I was 7 then) because my dad got drunk and knocked over a gas lamp while we were asleep. Seeing your whole life basically burn down in front of your eyes, in the dead of winter, with only a pajama shirt traumatized me pretty badly, which is why I take fire safety seriously.
Number 18 might be my personal favorite though, it's so nightmarish and terrifying.
A fire here in Australia affected a chef and his family on Boxing Day one year. His wife and kids were killed. He almost died himself. He luckily survived.
Fire is devastating.
Poor dude. I can’t imagine the mundaneness, the hurt, the devastation of his day-to-day life.
It's not a PIF, but "Hospitals Don't Burn Down" is damn frightening.
It truly is.
Especially the shots of Sister's boyfriend charred and the nurse opening the laundry chute.
#10 should have a RIP headphones warning... My heart is RACING.
I like them, I thought Searching was going to be number 1.
I have bad experiences with fire. Seeing your apartment block on fire when you come back from school, at the age of 7 or 9 is not a great experience.
Another one is when I was older, but still in a apartment block, above a convenience store. The latter have a false alarm of a fire, it's night, fireman rushes in, my father wake up, etc. He talk about it when I wake up, that the fireman came in the apartment, check everything with their loud boots and I never wake up. So, I came at the realisation, probably false, that I sleep so much like a log that a smoke alarm won't wake me.
Don't worry, we have 2 smoke alarm.
So, because of that, i'm always more emotional watching Fire Safety PSA.
Yeah, just wanted to talk about it, because why not.
"I have bad experiences with fire. Seeing your apartment block on fire when you come back from school, at the age of 7 or 9 is not a great experience."
Similar experience for me. I went outside from my home (I think I was 8-10 back then), it was a weekend, and noticed a few fire engines standing nearby. As it turned out, the house of one of our neighbors was burning. Caused by an electric appliance, probably a short-circuit. The family made it out, but the dog died in the smoke.
Number 41 is the one I remember the most when I was a kid. Despite being created in Northern Ireland it was shown in the Republic of Ireland
I absolutely called 2 and 1.
Applemask best described number one when he quoted *Inferno* : _"An abyss of suffering, filled with the roar of endless woe."_
Also number 18 deserved a top 5 spot.
Those 2 are interchangeable
Had a House Fire in 08'. Luckily, it was caught in time and was salvageable.
Huh. Thought the unofficial-ish Fire Kills one with the flaming skull jumpscare would make it high up the list.
This is why I always unplug my appliances when going out. You just never know.
I remember number 41 being shown in the Republic of Ireland
@@oscarosullivan4513 I think I saw it in England as well. It's a case of Failing To Plan is Planning To Fail that one.
I'm still haunted by what happened at the Station Nightclub in 2003 if I am honest.
28:55 #11 is my favorite one. It shows a home video of a girl thanking her mother for the giraffe she got for Christmas. The mother keeps replaying the clip, until her husband comes in and tells her to stop because if she kept doing it she’d feel worse. Then we find out that they lost their daughter to a shitty fire.
14:30 “ You’ve managed it, but you’ve forgotten your child.”
Convenient 😉
Freddy krueger would be screaming from this psa since hes afraid of fire. at least from the movies anyway.
#32 is absolutely depressing.
It also has an odd coincidence with another older PSA called "Searching" that has someone searching a burnt house, hearing echoey voices, and at the end, they stumble upon a wardrobe. Same as #32.
Great compilation! There were a few I hadn't seen before (the Australian bush fire ones primarily). I've said it before, I'll say it again: fire PIFs are the great equalizer. A lot of other PIF subjects are easy to avoid (don't do drugs, don't walk in front of a train) but fire can happen to anyone.
#31 always cracks me up. She leaves her kid in the burning house and is so nonchalant about it. Mother of the year!
I know mine is an outlier opinion, but I think #9 and #8 are overrated. The music in #9 is annoying, and #8 is too over the top to take seriously.
Mme. Smite I agree about 9 and 8! I’ve never been a fan.
Same re: 31, that never ceases to give me a chuckle.
WOOOOOOOO
Edit: Oh, cool, 34 made me cry! Also, thank you for not including the jumpscare one.
Sincerely, A Giant Coward
CONGRATULATIONS ON ANOTHER OUTSTANDING COMPILATION! You must have found it increasingly difficult to select the best from #20 downloads, did you end up with a headache? lol One correction #50: UK not the Netherlands PIF using footage from Bradford City FC stadium fire 1985, if the Netherlands did showed it I just hope they got permission first from the UK copyright owner. #48 Brand spanking new PIF from the team at Fire Kills! An unexpected surprise for most because initially people assumed they had ceased trading, no more advertising or making any appearances on TV for a while but then last year - boom! They're back which is fantastic so we'll keep our fingers crossed in hope that it's permanent. Loved the Northern Ireland FRS ones, they make the point perfectly clear too.
The PSA is actually from the Netherlands, but you're correct, they're using UK footage.
Excellent compilation, my friend! ^_^ One of my personal favorites has to be #44, because it's narrated by one of my all-time favorite voice actors, the great Tony Jay! ^_^ *(fangirl squee)*
I was thinking it may have been George Sanders.
If "Get out alive" isn't at number 1...
It's at number one.
If you wanna get out alive
Oh, oh, run for your life...
Thanks so much for uploading this compilation 👍 I've been looking for number 6 since I started watching PIFs four years ago 🙂
Number 20, I just imagine that lady passive-aggressively jabbing everyone to this day
A better idea, if you are a smoker and want to save a life, just don’t smoke at all!
My mom smokes tobacco and cannabis...
Its sad to see her doing that.
Also she takes a lot of medics.
@@Pikachu-sc1yc I’m so sorry to hear that.
@@kevintheraichu yeah it's difficult because sometimes when she smokes the entire living room is filled with smoke and I'm coughing and I have to escape to bedroom
Nappa: Vegeta, how many people are surprised by fire at night every year?
Vegeta: IT'S OVER 9000!
Nappa: WHAT 9000?! THERE'S NO WAY THAT COULD BE RIGHT!
Number nine interesting how the tank looks like a Soviet tank
The nightmare one describes my dreams i have sometimes. The “something’s burn” sounds like a sentence that is said in my dreams. Also, I sometimes dream of my parents having a British accent (we all live in USA). But when I was little, I used to have really weird dreams that didn’t make sense at all (I’m 11 now). Like my dad pushing me in a shopping cart and then letting go. Or having a black dog plushie with a red ribbon around its neck. After those dreams, i would wake up my mom and ask her where the dog is; she didn’t know what i was talking about. I never knew what caused the dreams, but I will always remember them. Now that I’m older, I don’t watch tv as often as I used to so I don’t have weird, cringy dreams.
I'm really happy to see some of the Aussie bushfire PSAs in this list, because they've made some good ones. The "Making a plan to make a plan" ones are my favourites, I think.
my parents refuse to change our smoke alarm even though it doesnt work. so glad i'm moving back to my dads next monday.
#47: "this is fine."
And 45 and 42
You gotta be cool about fiiire safety...

I do not miss a single top, and still cool)
Tip: When you insert PIFs, trim them from unnecessary parts at the end and at the beginning.
Great video my guy
28:33 poor cat :'(
2:45 (this is fine) energy
The scariest part about the "Nightmare" PSA (Aka "Don't Give Fire a Chance") is the lady's voice! If it was the thoughts of the man in the dream, and him freaking out about the things that go on in the dream (For example, with the kid, it could've been like "No! Stay away from there!!!" in a very panicked voice), it would've been scary on its own, but not as bad. Or heck, if the lady was saying things in a panic and telling him to put it out quickly, it still would've been creepy, but not to a big extent.
But instead, they go with the voice of a complete "psycho"! It makes me feel like some crazy lady broke into their house and caused all these things to happen! And all the while taunting and mentally torturing this guy and then having the AUDACITY to blame the big fire at the end on him! And then it's even scarier with the "Uh oh" at the end. Indicating 1 of 3 things: 1. It's some sort of "supernatural entity" 2. He was still dreaming or 3. His mind was still playing with him!
I thought it was some sort of personification of the fire, like the potential fire was speaking. And the fire wanted to come into existence and spread, hence why it called the man a "spoilsport" for unplugging the overloaded socket and encouraged the child to play with matches.
Prepare the marshmallows and the sausages, is ready the furnace
I never got how you can get locked inside your own house during a fire. Don't houses lock from the inside, with little latches you can turn to unlock them?
There are also locks with a so-called "double-lock" mode, which means that they also need a key in order to be opened from the inside. Handy if you have, let's say, toddlers who are prone to wandering.
My house uses a latch that turns from the inside to unlock and we keep our keys in the lock for the back door
Nice. If any are from the UK, I'm bound to recognize them, having heard several over the years. Surprise the fire at the soccer stadium in '85' became a PSA. Why is that your favorite subject?
Sorry for the late reply, I haven't seen a notification about this comment! I love fire safety ads because they were the ones that got me into this hobby, and I don't know why.
GLC ones are pre mid 80’s as the GLC was shut down by Thatcher in the mid 80’s
Surprised that the one with the boy saying "And then Stephen stopped crying*... That was last Christmas..." wasn't on here
*i.e. he died
DON'T EVEN HAVE THAT IN CANADA
