People who know fire also know that fires depicted in movies and television for entertainment can leave the wrong impression about the speed at which fires grow and the amount of time available for escape. This misinformation can cause people to underestimate the danger of fire and cause them to make bad decisions in the event of a fire. The Building and Fire Research Laboratory at NIST has taken video footage from actual large scale fire tests and assembled them into a 10-minute VHS video that clearly shows the growth of fires in furnished rooms from ignition to flashover.

״It is just after 7a.m. on a hot, humid Saturday. Recent weather has been warm and dry. The wind is coming from the South at 5mph. 911 dispatch has received a call reporting smoke coming from the garage of a neighbor's house. The neighbor believes there is no one home... Introduction This scenario is not intended to be a game. It is a ready-to-go training tool that can be used by any fire department or fire ompany in the classroom or on the office computer. It doesn’t matter what your manning is, nor what type of apparatus you have. You can use this simulation, today, to train your firefighters and officers. There is an instruction sheet that you should download.״
