*watches fires in san diego in disbelief*

if anyone on these here boards be a fireman, i have a question;

if peoples refuse to leave their homes, when firemen are sweeping through areas requesting they evacuate, should they be just left to their own fates, or should they be compelled to leave (by that, i mean forced, yarrr!) by the police and any national guard who are on site?
