After a fire on Sesame Street gives Elmo a scare, he and Maria visit a real New York City firehouse. Finding out about all the protective clothes firefighters wear and practicing how to "Get Low and Go" helps Elmo feel safe again. And he even gets to slide down a real fire pole! Then a special Elmo’s World all about Firefighters helps kids understand much more about what to do if there is a fire.

My daughter LOVES this DVD
My daughter absolutely loves this DVD. Her father is a firefighter and I think it helps her understand things a little easier. She understands taht Elmo gets nervous and upset, but in the end always comments that he is "better now". She requests this specific DVD daily!

What a lot of people reviewing this don't realize...
is that this is the first new episode of Sesame Street aired after 9/11. EVERYBODY was extremely scared, confused, and emotional for months after that. This was Sesame Street's answer to how we talk to our kids about the scary things that happen in the world. I think it is great that it shows that it's okay for Elmo to be afraid, but educating yourself on safety procedures helps ease the fear.

GREAT job at making children MORE aware and LESS afraid...
Not sure why another reviewer only gave this 1 star! Both my 2-year old and 3-year old love this DVD. It's a great way to teach little Elmo Lovers about fire safety and to help them become LESS fearful. Yes, it does show Elmo afraid because a fire in Hooper's store (all they show is smoke coming from the back room due to a small grease fire). He's three years old, of course he's scared! BUT, that's the whole point of the DVD. After the fire, Elmo is invited to and visits the fire station where he talks to and learns about fire fighters, gets a tour of the fire station and learns what to do in case of a fire, and by the end of the DVD he's not scared anymore. It shows that fires don't need to be a scary thing as long as you know what to do. Has catchy songs that teach fire safety, and Elmo does a great job in showing other children that they don't need to be afraid if they know what to do. I think it does a GREAT job at teaching little ones fire safety!

helps children feel less afraid
My daughter who is a huge Elmo fan enjoyed this DVD. She was very sympathetic when Elmo was afraid, but now points out every fire truck, tells me why the firefighters wear their boots, hat and jacket, and can stop, duck and go.

Great video
My kids age 2 and 5 love this video. They both want to practice fire safety now and are much less scared. It is a good platform to jumpstart a very important topic.

Wake up and smell the SMOKE!
What is up with some of you people going on about how awful it is that Elmo is scared in this DVD. Yeah, he should be. He is in a restaurant when a FIRE starts. That is the whole idea here. Kids should know FIRES are dangerous. My 3 year old loves firefighters. He has 5 fire trucks, a firefighter outfit, a hose, 3 hats and lots of video/DVDs about firefighters. He is a firefighteroholic but, he also appreciates that FIRE is very dangerous and not something that's fun and yippee! On the first viewing of this DVD he turns to me and says, "Papa, Elmo Scared", and I tell him, "Yes he is son because, he is in a restaurant that has a lot of smoke coming out of the kitchen. And he is not sure what is going on". On the arrival of FDNY Elmo, still shaking, is slowly reassured that it is ok to be scared about FIRE and that it is also understandable that the firefighters in all their uniforms can be scary as well. Elmo is then invited back to the firehouse to see what a firefighter does and look at all the gear they need. At the end of the firehouse tour Elmo is no longer scared. So, if you want a good DVD about the dangers of FIRE and what a child should do when a FIRE starts in their presence this is a great DVD to purchase but, if you want your child to live in a dream world where everything is fun and sweet and good enough to eat, stay away from this DVD.
