This title is an acquisition.

He Comes Without Calling is a film about fire prevention on Indian reserves but it can apply everywhere and to anyone. Its message is clear. Fire is a force that commands respect. It doesn't spare the careless. The film is thought-provoking and not comfortable to watch. How many of our homes are totally free of fire hazards? Could we be the next victims? The film includes an introduction by Chief Dan George.
