This review is from: Fires and Firefighting Film Library DVD - Fire Prevention and Safety, Fire Department Training, Vintage Smokey the Bear and More (DVD)

This product may seem boring to some, but as a a reference video, it still a great learning tool, and fun to see the old black and white commercials about smokey bear.
