How many mass-transit adjacent brush fires have there been in the past three weeks? This is the fifth I recall hearing about.

If we could just cut down all of the trees, this wouldn't be a problem.

Who gives a goddam. What could that little brush fire do? Safety on the T is just an excuse to stop running. I will sacrifice safety any day to just get home and back.

I'm not sure which "T" you're referring to, but since it's apparently one where too much concern for safety is a problem, I know it's not the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority.

Yeah man if there's one thing I know about fires, it's that they never get bigger or spread
