This episode of MGM's "Theatre of Life" documentary series goes behind-the-scenes at a Los Angeles Fire Department. The focus is on telling viewers how to prevent house fires. A fire occurs every 75 seconds. We learn how well-trained firemen are, and see them get dressed while answering calls. The opening fire is caused by someone smoking in bed. Fires are caused by human carelessness with smoking and matches. Other causes include misused electrical outlets. "Sometimes I think women do not understand electricity," is what a fireman thinks when he finds a woman's wet stockings hanging on an extension cord. Good footage.
