Think you've seen a fireman's lift? Think again!

Two crew members from Rochester turned up the heat in a parody of one of the greatest romantic films ever made, all in the name of fire safety.

Timed to coincide with the 30th anniversary of classic 1987 movie Dirty Dancing, the parody sees the late Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey replaced by watch manager Joanne Gilham and firefighter Nathan Pavey.

The pair are seen strutting their stuff to the equally popular song from the movie “I’ve Had The Time of My Life”, with their performance ending with the famous lift and Jo reaching up to test a smoke alarm.

The video then reminds the audience: “Keep having the time of your life - test your smoke alarm weekly.”

Ian Thomson, head of community safety at Kent Fire Rescue Service, said: “This parody is a great deal of fun, but delivers a simple yet serious message about carrying out a quick check every week. This check can make such a difference to the lives of the people we care about and love the most.

“We’re not expecting people to do ‘The lift’ scene from ‘Dirty Dancing’ to test their smoke alarms, however we really want people to make it part of their weekly activity.

"If you have difficulty reaching for the smoke alarm then you could use a broom handle or ask a relative or neighbour to help. These life-saving devices are vital in every home.

Mr Thomson added: “We’re always looking to find new ways to creatively connect with people and encourage them to think about how they can keep their loved ones and homes safe from the deadly effects of fire."

The video is the latest in a series of similar film parodies including the recent “IT” film which urged the audience: “Don’t be a clown” and to “Test ‘IT’ weekly” and the Star Wars – The Force Awakens film.
