Hmmmm, doubtful. I used to be a firefighter/EMT before going into another line of work (and got my college degree in Fire Science), and we're all pretty much the same---we want fires. We don't want destruction or suffering, but when you train and train and train, you want to use that training. Just like the military---nobody wants a war, but peacetime is pretty boring for the Infantry, etc. Maybe only those of us with weird sense of humor in public safety get it, I dunno...
