Plot synopsis
Command film on fire safety instructions.
"In the evening, a fire broke out in an apartment and was successfully extinguished. After that, two detectives appear in the building and investigate the reasons for what happened. They find several clues - a Primus stove, pants burned by an iron, the iron itself and an empty gasoline can, and already on the street near the bus stop they pick up a piece of a chess game - the black king. It becomes clear that the potential culprit must be sought among chess players.
The next day, detectives went to the city's cultural and recreational park, where a chess tournament was taking place at that time, and began searching for the suspect. Their efforts are crowned with success - a chess player does not have a black king in his game. He, realizing that he is arrested, is forced to tell the detectives everything that happened then.
It turned out that on the evening the fire broke out, a fuse in the house's electrical panel blew, causing a power outage. But the culprit of the fire showed ingenuity by replacing the broken fuse with a homemade one. The lights came on and everyone in the building went back to their business. Then one of the housewives, who was frying fish on a Primus stove, ran out of kerosene and poured gasoline into the Primus stove and placed the can in the hallway under the electrical panel. The hero of this story himself was ironing his pants at that moment, and then a friend came to him. He took out a chess set and invited his friend to play a game, forgetting the iron. They were both so carried away by the game that the iron was forgotten when the apartment began to smell of smoke. He rushed to turn off the iron, but did not have time - the power supply could not withstand the voltage drop in the iron and the lights in the house went out again. Then he left the apartment in complete darkness and made his way to the panel, but accidentally touched the canister, it overturned and all its contents spilled onto the floor. And the culprit of the fire immediately lit a match to inspect the meter by the light of the flame, and the spilled gasoline ignited.
After the end of the story, the detectives turn into firefighters, and a warning message appears on the screen:
Comrades! Failure to comply with fire safety rules leads to accidents. Be careful!"
