Aero club bar talk? Absolutely!

Do what your SOPs say.

This is a double bind problem: Evacuate, with concomitant injuries, and the fire turns out to have been relatively minor and easily controlled by the Firies: "You overreacted Bloggs!"

Don't evacuate and the fire turns out to be serious, leading to loss of life."You were negligent Bloggs".

What kills people in emergencies is failure of imagination, as in the Black Saturday fires in Victoria. "Who would have thought? Who could have known?" those are the refrains you hear afterwards when that happens.
