This film has two objectives: the first is to promote the observance of safe and sane fire prevention habits; and the second is to show proper and effective methods of using fire apparatus should an emergency arise.~The film begins with a sequence on a large smokey fire being fought by firement, followed by shots of gutted buildings. The film goes on to show the effect of carelessness with matches, cigarettes, and other heat sources in the office, shop, and kitchen. Shown are burnt out telephone switchboards and the means by which Bell Telephone intends to minimize losses due to fire: fire-resistant buildings, fire drills, and special training for its personnel. The theory behind the starting of fires is demonstrated by means of graphics. The film also contains long sequences on fire extinguishers, on their proper use, and on the principles underlying their effectiveness. <29mn>
