The only thing that disturbs me about that LH is that people can sometimes see fire as an 'enemy' rather than a thing that requires heat, fuel, oxygen and sustained chemical reaction to stay 'alive'. As Dave Swan pointed out on another thread, the intent of water bombers is to wet down the area in front of the fire so as to slow the burn rate. There are times when fire departments rely on the decisions of pump operators and attack teams to know whether the 'fight' will be offensive or defensive. Too often the press looks at what was lost as the barometer of a department's abilities. They ought to be giving mention to what was saved.

(Drifted off there for a bit.) Anyway, it's a danger when the homeowner doesn't know when to get out. Fire is not an enemy. It is an exothermic reaction, and many people do not treat it with the 'respect' it deserves or the understanding it requires.
