This film is from a collection of several Public Service Announcements (PSAs) from the U.S. Forest Service.
The PSA "Mask" shows a lit, wooden match as it falls onto a group of matches arranged in the shape of the continental United States. All of the matches are then consumed by the fire. "America the Beautiful" is playing in the background. Over this singing a narrator states that "one careless second with a match and America the beautiful becomes America the ugly."
