An engaging and interactive animated video which introduces the concept of telling the time.  The video explores how time is really important to firefighters, not only do they need to be quick when responding to emergency calls but also the breathing apparatus they wear when entering a smoke-filled building is limited by time, knowing how long they can stay inside, is vital for their safety.  The video challenges children to work out times on a clock with the added challenge of using time to work out the name of the Fire Investigation dog in the video.  The video also highlights how preventing fires is just as important as putting them out and discusses many fire safety tips which could save a life.
