This color educational film is about a forest fire, how they start, and how to contain them. This was made by KRON-TV in 1966 and broadcast in late summer prior to the Labor Day holiday as a warning for people to pay attention to their acts in the forest.
Opening: Trees in a California Forest. A man lights a pipe and drops his lit match into dry leaves which slowly catch fire. The fire slowly builds (:11-1:25) Title: FOREST FIRE (1:26-1:47). A small fire builds closely catching a few twigs after leaves. At night the flames move and overnight the fire is much larger and seemingly out of control. Daytime and trees are going up in flames as the flames are very high (1:48-3:19). A lookout on a firetower couldn't see the fire at first due to haze but then picked up on it and called the authorities. The rangers take the call and plot the coordinates of the fire. Workers doing other chores drop what they're doing when the alarm sounds and rush to the vehicles. Volunteer firemen rush from their station up a highway towards the flames. Up a dirt road. The tanker truck drives up a four mile dirt road (3:20-6:07). A smoke jumper - an airplane readies on the tarmac. Firefighter volunteers load into the plane and the plane takes off. They stare out of the open door and then one by one parachute into the fire zone. From the ground we see parachutes open as they men pull the ripcords. The men land on the ground and start towards the fire. The airplane flies by the fire. High flames are in the brush and blazing fast. The men from the trucks carry shovels and hoes. They start picking into the dirt at the fire line. A man uses a radio at the ranger station, rangers discuss (6:08-8:34). The plane flies by dropping fire retardant that contains phosphate fertilizer, which helps to slow and cool down the fire. The firemen go down a hill as flames burn nearby. A fireman looks up a hill as it burns. The flames get higher and hit tree tops. More firemen go down the road and move big tree pieces. Brush burns. Twigs catch fire. A bulldozer moves towards the fire as are more firetrucks (8:35-10:14). A truck is parked at base camp. Men stand around and discuss. Trucks are parked, men rest on cots. Food is given to the men. Close on steaks. Shovels, wedges, saws, knives and axes. A man sharpens a tool. Canteens. Men look over maps. Firemen carry shovels and go up a hill. A bulldozer knocks down trees. A firemen walks up a dirt hill. The men talk. A grouped of men stand and wait. Bulldozers on the move, men look over a piece of paper as smoke billows (10:15-12:35). A truck parked at base camp. Men stand. Equipment on the ground. Fire burns in the distance. A closed sign at the forest. Little fires still burn. A tree burns. Men wash their faces. Other men line up to eat. A man cuts his food. Another man chews. An orange hue around a bulldozer as it plows forward. Flames move at night. Men compare maps and notes. Flames in the night burn from many angles (12:36-15:33). A man on a portable telephone. Wind pushes flames higher at night. Embers fall as flames burn. Close on a firebird with information for the men. Flames go up a tree and burn high.Huge trees are torches. Flames seemingly out of control as it now morning. Wind fuels the flames in multiple directions. A helicopter flies against a red sky. Helicopter cockpit pov shot onto the ground and in the distance. Aerial shot of the smoke and flame on hillsides and ridges. Smoke billows up high. (15:34-18:37). Men start a fire line with fire to contain the fire. Trucks backup and a bulldozer moves forward. Men move equipment. Dirt is moved to help move a truck. A deer wanders. Other animals are displaced by the flames. Sun sets. Flames still glow at night. Trees and brush still burn in an eerie glow. Wind pushes flames as daybreaks. A sun glowing through a red sky. The sky bleeds red as trees look still. The title 'Forest Fire' appears as the scene fades to black (18:38-21:40). Flames go up a tree. Fires are burning out of control. The fire begins to burn itself out. A hillside billows smoke and small flame as smoke fogs the image. A fallen tree burns. Smoke swirls and the fire slowly dissipates. Charred trees and scorched earth. One tree is green and untouched and a few feet away flames still burn (21:41-24:00). A man lights a pipe. Dry leaves slowly catch fire. Aerial shots of a raging fire in the forest. Smokey the Bear warning sign (24:01-24:46) End credits (24:47-25:34).

The only thing that can reduce these fires is regular controlled burns to clean the forest floor of brush and down-dead material. Our "firefighters" need to be full-time, year-round employees who fight fires in the dry season and switch to doing controlled burns when conditions are right.
Exactly, reduce the fuel and create a buffer zone.
and don't throw burning matches on the ground.
@@riff2072 I went to a lecture once given by the Oregon Department of Forestry on fire preparedness and fuel load control. Someone in the audience asked him about what to do with deep accumulations of pine needles. His answer: : "Drop a match." Of course he meant when it was safe & legal. When it's legal to burn, the problem will usually be keeping it going, not having it get out of hand. And of course when land has been neglected too long and the fuel load is too high, it's better to do clean-up burning in piles before attempting an area burn. I also do what I call "linear burns" where I pile leaves on my trails so it gets rid of the leaves, kills weeds on the trail, and fire-hardens the trail surface all in one go. I enjoy my prescribed burns more than any other work I do on my land, and I'm always watching for exactly the right day, hour, and place to light one.
A cautionary tale....
RAKE YOUR FOREST!
Wayne Brinker
The most valuable, long term advice ever provided to a grateful nation by good brained president.
I hope you're joking. They're not little city parks dude.
American would need 500,000 raking full time. Trump is beyond deranged. He is insane
At dawn, the dead bodies litter the forest floor...blackened, swollen bodies, grotesquely displayed amidst the charred landscape...
Not. I regularly hike in burn areas as soon as I can get in, sometimes when there are still burning trunks, and I've never come across killed wildlife. The birds fly away, the deer and other larger animals run away, the snakes, lizards, and rodents find holes to hide in. As soon as it cools the lizards are back out, the gophers are digging again, and in two weeks new leaves and shoots are coming out of the bushes and trees that are fire-hardy. Then the borers and bark beetles go after the killed trees, and the woodpeckers go after the borers and bark beetles. When a landscape is fire-adapted, the only thing that keeps it healthy is regular fire.
Hs Hs it was a joke...
You have to respect firefighters no matter where they fight mans most useful but most deadly element, but for forestry firefighters it must be physically and mentally exhausting and very very dangerous, the smoke jumpers must have balls of steal, jumping into a fire as they do, no support, and no escape, massive respect. Thanks for sharing this interesting and informative film 🎥😢👍🇬🇧🏴
