Fires Across The World (2-DVD set)

This 2-DVD set is smoking! Throughout the world fire - the founding force of civilization - has also destroyed ships, cities and lives. Yet, perhaps because of fire's destructive rage, we are always fascinated by its spectacular image.

In this blazing hot 2-DVD set, we have assembled some of the best vintage footage of fires from around the world! All of these films were shot in the mid-20th century, just as new firefighting technologies were being put into place.

What is spectacular about these two DVDs is how they demonstrate that no matter what culture or country we call home, we can all be humbled by the power Prometheus brought to us from the heavens!

You will be shocked and awed as you watch grain refineries, oil tankers and entire cities burn to the ground while firefighters valiantly try to stem the flames!

We have now put together for the first time on one 2-DVD set a collection of the best vintage fire films ever assembled. If you are a firefighter, are fascinated by fires or just want to see great vintage films, you need to own the Fires Across The World 2-DVD set today!

"I could not believe the quality of these film clips. When the ship explodes in Bombay my eyes literally popped open! I could feel the tension! I don’t want to sound like a pyromaniac - but these fires are really cool! I love this DVD!"

Stillman Fires Collection: Fires Other Cities
This track features some cool footage of fires in many cities, including one in China which leaves many people open-mouthed, shore fires in Norfolk and Hoboken, a great Monastery fire in Union City and other miscellaneous fires in San Francisco, Chicago, and the remnants of an explosion in Cleveland. Probably the most spectacular of the footage is an explosion of a munitions plant in Bombay. The explosion (which is captured) sends debris everywhere and sends people running for cover. Pretty awesome! Some of the images may upset some people.

Stillman Fires Collection: Ship Fires
In ‘Ship Fires' two fires are fought which can be classified as ‘ship fires'. The rest are various other fires. They are pretty amazing too. Oil refineries, grain elevators and (the most amazing one) an oil tanker goes ablaze. This is a thrill a minute clip!
