    That depends largely on your standpoint. If you’re already on fire then setting more fires in the hopes of getting put out with them isn’t irrational.

      If putting out each fire requires a certain amount of resources, then your chances go down, as firefighters will be busy with other fires before they get to you.

      I don’t know if you intended “get put out with them” as a euphemism for “killed” but it fits very nicely.
