I do agree on one thing, companies that house and produce and use severe volatile products should be inspected so much more than what they are. In one news footage they were spraying foam fire retardant, well the only place in that area that has that sort of vehicle is from the airport.

Not that we'd normally expect to see any criticism of our illustrious leader's handling of anything.

Even up to reading the respondents thoughts, it still seemed to fit my erroneous reading of the headline:

It's not a government job to handle the fire to begin with. I understand what they are trying to proof by this poll, but we all know this already.

I think, not only about the handling of the fire they have uncomfartable feelings.
