Exit Drills In The Home (EDITH) -
on DVD in 12 languages

Maine Fire Training Education and the Portland Maine Fire Department have produced a fire safety film. It covers topics such as fire and life safety issues --what the fire service calls EDITH (Exit Drills In The Home). It describes a fire safety plan for families. The film is available in the 12 most prominent languages spoken in Maine and is accessible on DVD. The languages are English, Arabic, Cantonese, Dinka, French, Khmer, Nuer, Russian, Serbo- Croation, Somali, Spanish and Vietnamese.

The film depicts firefighters as being friendly people that serve to protect the citizens of their community. Since many immigrants and refugees were politically oppressed in their home land, it is important that we make them feel that they are safe in our communities.

The price for the DVD is $20 dollars for all 12 languages plus shipping and handling. This film is one of a kind; no other fire department or national organization has produced a safety video in as many languages.
