Actually, I think the answer to the question is "Yes, they can".
Firemen threatened to arrest a homeowner today. I didn't even know they could do that, but I've been assured that they can.
The idiot in question was trying to knock down 75 ft. flames, about 30 feet from his house, with a garden hose.
I can understand wanting to do everything possible to save your home but, sometimes, I think you just gotta' say "fuck it"...
