- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: instructive and urgent; themes: civil defense, fire safety, public instruction; style notes: flat 2D animation with bold colors and simple shapes; high-contrast visuals for clarity; no camera movement or depth.
A public information film advises against smoking and instructs viewers to check for fires starting at the top of the house, using water, earth, or sand to extinguish small fires immediately. The visuals show a cigarette with a cross over it and a two-story house.

The record
Crown copyright, not a US Government work. Made 1975–76 by Richard Taylor Cartoons for the Central Office of Information and the Home Office; first shown publicly in 1980. 17 U.S.C. 105 covers only works of the United States Government, so Public Reel's registry rules do not clear this film. The Imperial War Museum reproduces the series as © Crown copyright under delegated authority. The Archive uploads carry an uploader's public-domain mark, which is a claim, not a licence. The atlas indexes it because the series is a landmark of government public information film; the video stays on the Archive. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
