fire burn down the mountains of San Diego

Last night, after a long day of work, I was eating dinner with my wife
watching the fire burn down the mountains of San Diego. They were
showing the base camp of 6000 fire fighters that set the fire with people, 
and trucks, and flames all whooshing around the T.V. screen yelling burn 
fire burn ha ha yahoo yahoo. The reporter looked a bit bewildered, and 
they said thats fire boys for you.
