Who says putting out a forrest fire is a "really important thing"?  The 
forrests need occasional fire to be healthy.  The only species that fire 
really inconveniences is humans.  This is simply because we have an 
irrational tendency to become over attached to worthless material 
things.  Its about time we started to hold the good of the environment 
above the greed of a few homeowners.
