Produced by the National Film Board of Canada for the Dominion Fire Commissioner, Department of Public Works.
This humorous animation film traces humankind's carelessness with fire, from the moment that the gods take pity and give it to them untit the present day. Early warnings to keep fire under control are gradually ignored. Overloaded sockets, smoldering cigarettes and other fire hazards result in the destruction of life and property.
