Should i try and fight a wildfire myself?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If safe to do so: Usually not recommended, because it's better to stay safe. However, if there are little fires before the emergency responders arrive, look for household items as fire tools: a hose, rake, ax, hand saw or chain saw, bucket, shovel, etc... Use whatever water is available.
