Description: This educational film produced by the Texas Forest Service (now known as the Texas A&M Forest Service) explains the role of the organization in helping to monitor weather factors and control forest fires. According to the host, there are four codes that describe the probability of fire behavior: green, blue, yellow, and red, with red connoting the most explosive situation. Given the increased danger posed by Code Red fire days, the film also demonstrates the proper procedure of scouting for and containing a wildfire during such conditions, including where to properly set back fires and how to clean up.
