Jeez, Eric, you'd have been right at home in the early days when fire
companies were part of insurance companies, and if you didn't have the
insurance company plaque on your door they'd pass on by!  There's an easy
way to keep the firemen off your back, just don't have any fires!  Did you
get up on the cranky side of bed today?

Incidentally, I had a chance a while ago to put out a rather small engine
fire in a pickup truck with the 1A-10BC extinguisher I always carry.  Fire
went out just fine with half the bottle.  Started up again a minute later.
Second half of the bottle took care of that.  Started up again, no more
bottle, pickup truck burned to the ground.  Kid driving the truck was in shock.
