Causes

Description

Images of a forest burning are interspersed with images of: two children throwing a lit match into grass, a person tossing a cigarette down in a forest, a station wagon pulling away from a campfire that is still burning, and a person walking away from a trash fire. A narrator states that 9 out of 10 forest fires are caused by people being careless with matches, cigarettes, campfires, and trash fires. The phrase: "Only you can prevent forest fires," appears on the screen as the narrator says it.
