Well an initial comment is that I have a friend that is a fire scene
investigator and we have discussed this sort of thing before. She has
seen the aftermath of people that don't know when to give up trying to
fight a fire with the extinguishers and other items they have and end up
as statistics (dead). IIRC from her professional point of view best to
get out and let the professionals sort the fire if an initial attempt
doesn't squash to fire quickly in it infancy.


Yea, the initial attempt that won't be possible with a fire extinguisher
ban. It will be fun watching London burn to the ground live on CNN...


I'm sure the fun will wear off quickly having seen the CNN cover stuff
before as they continue to do news updates without any new information
to convey but prattle on inanely anyway.


Yea, but I have CNN on in my office most of the time during the day.
Even with nothing new to report, the live view of London burning down
(like that recent casino fire) would still be amusing viewing.

Casino fire?, couldn't have rated highly as I've missed that one.


Yea, was some time in the last couple months I think. Was some Vegas
casino, top floor / facade fire.
