Fire safety demonstrations are rarely associated with Bollywood music, but firefighters in Indonesia have managed to combine the two in an unexpected way. Videos of them using popular Hindi songs to demonstrate basic fire safety measures have gone viral, leaving social media users amused by their unusual teaching style.
The videos were shared on X by user @sougat18, who posted pictures along with two clips featuring the firefighters explaining fire safety techniques through Bollywood music. The content was originally shared on Instagram by @tamsildanuarta, a resident of Makassar who works with the fire and rescue department.
What caught the attention of social media users was not just the safety demonstration but the unusual soundtrack accompanying
it. The firefighters used two popular Bollywood songs while acting out different fire-related scenarios, turning what could have been a routine awareness campaign into an entertaining tutorial.
In one of the videos, the song “Teri Aankhon Ko Aankhon Se” plays in the background as a firefighter demonstrates what to do when a vessel catches fire. The demonstration conveys an important safety message: water should not be poured directly onto a vessel that is on fire. Instead, a wet cloth should be placed over it to help smother the flames.
The second video features “Tere Ghar Aaya Mai Aaya Tujhko Lene” and focuses on another potentially dangerous situation involving a gas cylinder. The firefighter demonstrates that water should not be used on a burning cylinder and instead shows how a wet cloth can be used as part of the demonstration to contain the fire.
Sharing the clips, @sougat18 jokingly described the sight as one of the “multiverse” moments, writing, “In the Multiverse Impossible things: Indonesia based Firefighters are teaching Fire Safety Basics on Instagram using Bollywood Songs. Listen in 😭😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😂 I can’t 🤣🤣🤣”
The unusual combination of Bollywood music and fire safety quickly caught the attention of other users, with many praising the firefighters for making an important subject more engaging.
“Hahaha, that’s a fun (and I believe very effective) way to educate people about the subject,” said one user.
Another person was surprised by the appearance of the firefighters, commenting, “Lmfao, I really thought they are just some guys from North East. Wtf.”
A third user compared the demonstrations favourably with conventional safety sessions, saying, “Way more interesting than any I have been to.”

Some users also pointed out that Bollywood music has a significant fan base in Indonesia. Recalling another instance of Bollywood-inspired popularity in the country, one user wrote, “Long back a policeman in indonesia got famous after his lip syncing of ‘chaiya chaiya’ went viral. he went on to have a singing career,”
Another commenter appreciated the approach taken by the firefighters, particularly the absence of fear-based messaging. “I liked his unique way of teaching without creating fear in any of the demos,” said one user.
The popularity of Bollywood music in Indonesia was also highlighted by another user, who shared a personal experience: “They love bollywood songs in indonesia. Was treated to fabulous collections of these by my cabbie in Jakarta.”
