"Intelligent methods of preventing fire and of fighting it should it break out. Simple home fire rules are suggested, and types of fire extinguishers suitable for the home are displayed. We see how a family that is well-organized and keeps cool escapes from a burning house and manages to save the building and most of its contents. The graphic story of a man caught in a strange hotel room with both exits barred by flames, shows how even in this desperate predicament knowledge and cool-headedness can avert final disaster."
"Quelles règles faut-il suivre en cas de feu? Quel genre d'extincteur employer à la maison ? Que feriez-vous, par ailleurs, dans une chambre d'hôtel, si la porte et la fenêtre flambaient déjà ?"

"Chaque année au pays, 50,000 incendies détruisent pour 40 millions de biens et 70% des décès causés par le feu surviennent au foyer. Usines, hôtels, écoles sont munis d'appareils détecteurs, d'escaliers de sauvetage. Mais malheureusement dans les maisons on néglige de prendre des précautions nécessaires pour parer au désastre. Prémunissez-vous contre l'incendie pour parer au désastre. Prémunisez-vous contre l'incendie, car en ce moment 'vous n'êtes pas en sûreté chez-vous.'"
