This film is from a collection of several Public Service Announcements (PSAs) from the U.S. Forest Service.
The PSA "If you knew it was me would you have listened?" begins with a close-up of the face of a young, blonde woman. She cautions viewers to be careful with fire in the forest in order to prevent forest fires. Extreme close-up of her face and hair as she tilts her head down; a costumed Smokey Bear raises his head making it appear as though the woman's face was only a mask that he was wearing. Smokey says, "If you knew it was me would you have listened?"
