Is it productive to fight fire with fire?

Answer 1

Yes it can be. If you're referring to fighting real physical fires, a strategy that fire fighters use would be to burn certain areas to prevent the fire from moving further.

During the fires in San Diego a few months ago the fire fighters used that strategy to prevent fires from moving to homes. They set smaller fires and burned the brush (the fuel) in a small area to prevent the big fire from reaching homes. This created a sort of buffer zone and since the big fire didn't have fuel to move on they were able to slow the fire down. Sometimes it can backfire when there are heavy winds though that carry the embers.

If you're referring to arguments / fighting actually it can be productive at times to fight fire with fire. In these cases however sometimes it can be counter-productive. It all depends on what the situation is.

Answer 3

Not usually because you end up with one really big fire. Try water, or that foamy stuff, or a fire blanket or co2. I remember superman fought fire with the frozen top of a lake. He just picked it up and dropped it on the burning factory - worked a treat.

Superman also made a diamond out of a piece of coal just using his hand. It came out all neatly cut and everything.
