Forest fires

Year Published: 1958

Creator: KQED San Francisco Bash Kennett Kathleen Rawlings Richard Moore Robert Nissen Matt Lehmann

Format: 16mm

Description: Bash describes the value and beauty of the timber of our country, and how it helps hold the soil, gives cover for the animals, and is a valuable crop. Then she goes on a film expedition to an actual forest fire, showing the fire racing up the hillsides, destroying a forest, being fought by bucket, shovel, and even by planes bombing with chemicals before the fire is put out. Songs include “Mr. Rabbitt” and “Frog Went a Courtin’.”
