Based on a book written by a firefighter, "The Birthday Gift that Beeped" tells an all too true tale of how smoke alarms can save lives.

Beeping Ben is an adorable, puppet smoke alarm that stresses to kids the importance of keeping fresh batteries installed in all smoke detectors, and to test them regularly. Kids will also learn how to make a safe escape if an alarm sounds.

The puppets and songs make the lessons fun for kids, and the video is a great way to get them thinking and talking about fire safety with their families.

Beeping Ben teaches children what smoke alarms are and what to do if one sounds its alarm. The Beeping Ben character holds children's attention and keeps them listening while they are given information.
