This film is an animated public service announcement narrated by Smokey Bear. Images of an empty, charred landscape are contrasted with those of a vibrant forest with animal life and people camping. Smokey cautions viewers to "think before you strike" and to "put the life out of your campfires before the campfires put the life out of the forest."
This primary source comes from the Records of the Forest Service.
