  • There was more than one of these, including one where there was a fire and the old lady "knew what to do", including checking a door which was hot. I'd love to find it again.

    The old lady looks like the same design as the song I know an old lady who swallowed a fly!

    I was looking for that one too. I've been singing it all day. *LOL*

    Why would someone put a cupboard right above a stove to begin with? Thanks for posting this. For a while, I thought I had imagined these PSAs.

    How about the one where the Uncle was smoking in bed? Or the one where you gather at the tree marked with an "X." Ahhh, good memories of childhood television...

    I only have one thing to remember... Stop, Drop and Roll (in the fire).

    The old lady knew just what to do.  Do you?

    Sure looks like John Weldon animation.

    A lot of Canadian PSA's from this era were pretty creepy. There was one I remember that had animation of a spark flying through a house with various fire hazards in almost every room and making them burst into flames until it got to the garage where there are oily rags and paint cans and then there's what looks a nuclear explosion and it shows the house at night with an inferno billowing from its roof and the narrator says "Do you really think it can't happen to you?" o_o
