I don't really know what to say about your lame excuses, you leave the whole plant burn to ashes. No one is saying that throwing your firefighters into fire would save the plant, the main problem is inaction of the state governors in case of facing a crisis in USA. Your country blabbers of managing the whole World under liberal Banner but it fails to control a fire in one of its own important states let alone the toxic gases produced by that fire in a chemical plant could poison the inhabitants with irrevesible environmental consequences.
The crisis management principles never allow inaction but it prevents casualties beside taking the necessary Actions to avoid long time consequences such as spread of toxic materials.
Btw, You are no more than a political damage controller in this website.
Good Luck
