Chattanooga (TN) Firefighters Release ‘Can’t Touch This’ Safety Video

By Bruce Garner

Two years ago, the Chattanooga (TN) Fire Department released a silly video from our fire academy that promoted the use of “hands only CPR.” About a year ago we found out, via Mark Kennedy with the Chattanooga Times Free Press, that someone in Minnesota watched that “Stayin’ Alive” video and actually saved a man’s life.

With that success in mind, we decided to try another video with a safety message. It’s silly too, but if it gets people to think about safety — at least some — thenwe’ll feel like we’ve accomplished something.
