That's what the air raid wardens used to angrily shout in all the movies of the time. It was such a common thing it became a bit of a gag. So when Barney Bear is the warden and there's a firefly that can't or won't comply, there's a comic scrap.
THis is the first Barney Bear cartoon not directed by Rudy Ising. He and his partner, Hugh Harman, were no longer producing for theatrical release, nor would they return after the war. Instead, they concentrated on industrial films, a steadier market. Instead, this was the first of the series directed by George Gordon, a talented animator who had been directing occasionally since the middle of the 1930s, but kept being shoved back to lead animator. He had more success on television, where he directed 120 episodes of THE SMURFS. If you can call that success.
