Was this the guy who refused to let the fire department pull water from his pond to help fight fires? :) In order of importance:people most important, property least important. Pets somewhere in the middle. Last year's firefighter class I went to said that if you HAVE to go in to try and save someone you have 2 minutes from the time you break down the door to get them out or have the fire under control. That's not a lot of time when you probably don't know the floor plan of the house, don't know where in the house someone may be, and may have to haul water from miles away. One previous poster mentioned hauling water a mile, that would be a short haul around here but it still has the same problems. Then consider that while a fire doubles in size every 30 seconds the response depends on someone seeing smoke, calling it in, dispatch calling it out, everybody dropping what they are doing, drive to fire station, start trucks, drive 5 miles down a muddy gravel road with 1500 gallons of water. At this point you are 15 minutes into the fire and there isn't a hose on the ground and maybe only 2 people there at this point. So it is not usually an issue of not wanting to but not having the ability to safely do it. Police are not legally bound to lay down their life to save yours or your property and neither are firemen.
