Whoa. The firefighters arrived a lot faster than I thought was even possible.
That feels really sketchy. Like, how did they get there so fast?
Also, I had some doubts about the new fire retardant they just started using. It’s full of chemicals that I think are probably bad for my family’s health.
Yup. Just checked on Google. Lots of people agree that the chemicals in that fire retardant are really dangerous.
Of course, the firefighters told me I should listen to them and let them do their jobs, but that’s exactly what you’d expect them to say. They’ve obviously got a prejudicial interest in putting fires out.
And you know what? I don’t even know how the fire got started in the first place. Some people are telling me it was probably rodents chewing on our wires, but I suspect it was faulty Chinese electronics. Without that information, it was hard to know what to do.
I also read online that there have been times when firefighters have actually injured the people they’re trying to help when they are putting out a fire. It’s apparently way more common than people know.
When it came down to it, I just didn’t feel like I had enough good information to let the firefighters do their jobs. I told them to leave me and my family alone.
One of the firefighters told me it was my civic duty to let them put out the fire before it spreads. That’s when I knew I’d made the right choice. They obviously care more about other people than they do about me as an individual.
I’ve heard that if you’re young and healthy, there are lots of effective ways to fight a fire on your own.
Anyway, my house is ashes now, several people in my family are dead, and my entire neighborhood is a charred hellscape.
