    They should recruit and assemble a flame thrower unit to fight the fire with fire.

    Forest fire fighters ... the method of purposely burning a section of forest in front of a moving forest fire to starve or stop the fire from otherwise spreading uncontrollably.

    But what I've seen come out of Texas, they would legitimately try to point their flame throwers directly at a fire to try to kill it with fire.

    The headline about the mayor of New York ordering the NYPD to shoot floodwater if it doesn’t disperse was funnier.

    What if they got cops to point their guns at it and scream, "GET ON THE GROUND!"? I bet that'd work better.

    They should ask the trees what they were wearing and then tell them that a spark is a beautiful living thing. If they're not willing to let an innocent little spark become a beautiful little flame, then the trees and anyone who helped them are all murderers.

    "You wanna put out an oil fire, Sir, you set off a bigger explosion right next to it. Sucks away the oxygen. Snuffs the flame."

    "Price, you been locked away too long. Better get your mind right, son."

    "Shepherd, are you willing to do what is necessary to win?"

    "Always"
