Not to quibble, but if winds are high you will probably not "run to put out the fire". I say this based upon experience managing my 25 acre forest in northern california and having built and burned at least one thousand debris piles and one multi-acre controlled underburn. It is amazing how quick fire will move and get a bit or a lot out of control with dry and windy conditions. Very stressful! (But I agree, don't shoot the arsonists, even the homeless; first arrest and put in jail and get them un-strung out...)

Good point, but I’m thinking of a “neighborhood fire” like is mostly burning in CA, not a wildfire in a field.
