“A Shocking Revelation”

Dan Doofus  Meet Dan Doofus, star of NFPA’s new video public service announcement (PSA) on electrical safety. May is “Electrical Safety Month” and NFPA has mailed all U.S. fire department a toolkit  (including the PSA) to help spread the safety message.

This is the first of our PSAs featuring Dan Doofus, who learns in comedic fashion that most home fires can be prevented by taking some very simple steps.
