While this may be true from the Fire Department's point of view, it is certainly not true from the gun owner's point of view.
As responsible gun owners, in case of fire, we should:
1. Unload all firearms that are not necessary for self defense, and/or
2. Make sure loaded firearms are positioned to not discharge into humans, and/or
3. Use fire resistant gun safes.
