Comments

From Mike Bonham : It is an outstanding video for fire prevention and I have been using it since 1991 to educate school age children. I can not thank Mr. Disney enough.

From Anthony Durrant : I saw the Spanish language version of this short some time ago on You tube; it was very good, but I couldn't understand what the characters were saying; I had to go by the animation to learn what was going on.

From Paul Mular : "Donald's Fire Survival Plan" is available on DVD in the U.S. through Disney Educational Productions On "Donald's Fire Safety Hits", combined with a cheaply made video sequal featuring a costumed character Donald.

This DVD has been updated from the original version. I only have vague memories of the original, so the only thing I can mention as an update is the instructions on where Smoke Detectors should be placed in your home.

As far as entertainment value there are some laughts at Donald's mishaps, but the focus is on safety education.
