If you buy an item that turns out to be stolen, do you have to turn it over to the police?
Quite a bit so we know what to use on what type of fires. For instance we do not apply water to flammable metals, or water to flammable gases. Sometimes we use dry chemical extinguishers on materials to remove the chemical reaction. Fires go out due to either removing oxygen(difficult), cooling, burns out of fuel plain and simple or intefferring with the chemical chain reaction such as dry chemical does.
By modern standards that would be a yes to it being a fire hazard.
Engine first so you can get the knowledge of how the environment in a structure fire really is which is no where close to what you go through the academy.
