Fuel dumping in case of fire

Hi all..just watch Nat Geo about planes on fire, having to circle while dumping fuel, before landing...and not making :-(

Can a plane dump fuel on the way to the airport, without having to circle out at sea perhaps, thereby saving time?

What are the effects of dumping fuel over a city? I thought it evaporated but I could be mistaken

thanks
