The fire chiefs are disappointed. They've been pushing this thing for a long time.

Oh, what ecstasy setting fires brings to my body! What power I feel at the thought of fire!...Oh, what pleasure, what heavenly pleasure!

We should like to have some towering geniuses, to reveal us to ourselves in color and fire, but of course they would have to fit into the pattern of our society and be able to take orders from sound administrative types.

We met with DEM two weeks ago and unbeknownst to us there was a problem with insects. We went into that meeting quite confident that we could deal with everything and then this happened.

They [Department of Environmental Management (DEM)] were worried about the runoff from the training facility. We felt confident that we had everything in line.

We're waiting for the big spark that will set people on fire.
