This 2-DVD set is smoking! Throughout the world, fire - the founding force of civilization - has also destroyed ships, cities and lives. Yet despite its destructive rage, there is some mysterious fascination about fires that has always drawn men to it.

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 fascinating about this set of DVDs is the demonstration of how 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!

Screen Shot

"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!"

This DVD Has The Best Clips Ever Assembled If You Are
Interested In Fires From Across The World!

This DVD collection is a classic example of real American history that would otherwise be lost if not for the power of DVD technology. These clips have been fully restored, saved in digital format and preserved for the benefit of history.

Here are the highlights of the best tracks you will see when you order Fires Across The World 2-DVD set today:

Stillman Fires Collection: Fires in 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 footage is that of an explosion in 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. Producer: N/A Sponsor: Stillman Year: N/A Length: 00:09:29 Audio: Silent Color: BLACK & WHITE

Stillman Fires Collection: Torpedoed This is a short about a ship that has been torpedoed off "The Jersey Coast" and is a ablaze as a result. You will experience real dangers of the war as you view this clip. Producer: N/A Sponsor: Stillman Year: N/A Length: 00:00:38 Audio: Silent Color: BLACK & WHITE

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! Producer: N/A Sponsor: Stillman Year: N/A Length: 00:06:00 Audio: Silent Color: BLACK & WHITE

EDITORIAL REVIEW:

Man’s fascination for fire is as old as its discovery. It is just as difficult to explain this attraction, as it is to explain the existence and nature of fire. Perhaps it is this mystical quality that has captivated man for centuries.

While surprisingly little is written about the benefits of fire - although there is enough material to fill a library - man has devoted several volumes to the destructive power of this phenomenon. Perhaps it is because the full majesty of flames is witnessed only when fires get out of control.

The clips on this set of DVDs have captured the enormity of destruction caused by fires the world over. While alarming you with its brute power and magnificence, these clips also forcefully drive home the point that man has never been able to master the forces of nature, although he has succeeded in harnessing wee bits for his own purposes.

Daring Cameramen have risked their lives to gather this historic record of blazes from across the globe that will set your heart on fire. Grab your copy today!
