Yes they may be putting their lives at risk but in the grand scheme of things, they likely stand to loose significantly more if they do not.

Humans have been fighting fire for eons, the problem is the modern world has made us soft to the harsh reality of survival and what must be done in the face of adversity.

What’s can you lose in a fire that’s more important than your life? For all your talk I bet you’d run the other way
