Funily enough I HAVE tried to set fire to JetA and you are correct - its much better to use Vodka as a fire-starter
I just think that knowing you've hit something and then getting a report of a leak you'd shut down - no reason to evacuate but you aren't going anywhere until someone outside has had a look. They had no idea how much they'd lost, or where it was leaking from. It was pretty dark out there.............
