You are judged not by what you know, but by what you can do.

Was that the angels share, or the devils cut?

Then again, how many warehouses are out their, and what percentage is two of them?
Are these acceptable losses?

That will also help ensure any runoff from the firefighting efforts don't pollute nearby sources of drinking water.
