There's a song I heard on WKSU's online folk music show a while ago, from the point of view of a smokejumper (one who fights forest fires) who survived when the rest of his crew didn't. For the life of me I can't remember the name of the singer or the song, but it was incredibly powerful. I'm sure someone out there will know it. I'll bet there is also a ballad or two about the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in New York. Good idea, Kevin.
