Whether it is Polio or fight against TB campaign advertisements for the government, Amitabh Bachchan has played a major part in creating awareness. Recent reports suggest that the Mumbai Fire Brigade has roped in Big B for four short films that will soon be played in theatres and aired on television.

The initiative came after horrifying fire incident including that at Kamala Mills that took 14 lives and another one at the Saki Naka Sweet shop which took 12 labourers lives. In these four videos, Bachchan will educate the citizens on what to do in case of a fire in a public place like theatre, restaurant, mall or even while bursting crackers during Diwali.

Chief fire officer P S Rahangdale said, "We plan to release the short films at the award ceremony function of the Fire Combat 360 Challenge on March 10." A team of 32 firefighters will line up including four from Mumbai and 17 international teams from UK, France, Portugal and Germany, will participate the combat challenge to be held in Worli on March 8-10. "For the first time in the country, the physical fitness of firefighters will be put to test at the competition," said a senior fire official.

Michael Joseph, a firefighter from the UK, said, "I have been undertaking various training sessions. The challenge is known to be the toughest two minutes for firefighters."
