Obviously this person has never lost his home..which, yes is replaceable.
But most humans are attached to memories they would like to keep, like
pictures and the other humans in their families. And, Yes I have lost 
these things.  I commend any firefighter or support team and what they
do, it's a hell of a job and they need support from the public in 
whatever way is needed. We were in the middle of the 49'er fire in '88
and we've had four more in the last two weeks.  The Bridgeport fire
is burning as I type, these people, ground and air are amazing at what
they do and I will help them to the end.  The environment is important
also though, and with all the people that are now living in just about
every nook and cranny of the countryside, maybe we need people like this
guy to go out and start clearing the brush by hand for the good of the
envirnoment!!!!
