Added DiffLines:
''Going to Blazes!'' is a 1948 short film (21 minutes) directed by Gunther V. Fritsch.
It's a documentary short about the fire department. After a witness to a house fire pronounces it "just another fire", the narrator (apparently a real Los Angeles fireman) takes over. The narrator describes how there are 20,000 fires a year and the various branches of the LA fire department are always busy. Scenes show the daily lives of firemen, as well as the pre-digital punch card technology that the fire department uses to dispatch engines. The narrator examines various causes of fires, such as smoking in bed and plugging too many plugs into a single outlet. The film ends by noting how people don't care very much about fires if it isn't their house, but that fires represent an economic cost to everyone.
