We had a fire in the workshop of the Navy marina where I lived on Coronado Island in San Diego. It happened on a weekend afternoon. You might be aware that every Sailor and officer in the US Navy serving aboard ship will go through firefighting school at some point, don't you? I have photos (as senior active duty officer present, I knew enough to stand clear) of all these retired and active duty Navy folk jumping into action and killing that fire before the call to the fire station even ended! It was like a perp walking into a cop bar to rob the place.
