Fire and the Fire Brigade
This DVD provides information on the history of fires and the fire brigade. The firefighters’ job is vividly illustrated, including their tasks and equipment. The topic of placing emergency calls plays a major part on this DVD. For safety training pur- poses, fire brigade operations are shown, causes of fires dis- cussed and extinguishing fires is practiced. In particular, the appropriate conduct in the event of a fire (alarm, test alarm, escape route, emergency call, fire detector, fire extinguisher, etc.) and first-aid measures for burns are demonstrated. The fact that besides the familiar fire engine, there are also fire brigades on water, on land and in the air shows how diverse this job is. A visit to the youth fire brigade makes this DVD especially suited for primary school pupils.

The Daily Newspaper
Every day, there is a surge of news reaching us via different news channels. In spite of TV and Internet, the daily paper still is one of the most important main sources of news. But how is a newspaper created? The film shows the production of a paper in the course of one day. Starting with the editorial meeting in the morning, in which the topics and deadlines are determined, the film accompanies a journalist during her research work. You can see how a journalistic interview is conducted and what the photographer must consider when taking a press photo. Back in the editorial office, the editor’s work is illustrated, which includes the page layout and the writing of an online article in today’s time. Impressive pictures from the printing centre depict the process from the digital page to the finished newspaper. Together with the comprehensive accompanying material, the DVD is perfectly suited for use at school
