Disagree. First lesson of a fire - if you are out do not go back in.
Are you suggesting it’s the motivation of cowardice to follow this rule?
Real life is not the movies. Sure, it sounds great to run in there and try to save your kid and get back out - but if you run in there and die how does that help anyone?
I have two younger brothers. I have had to look after them since they were small. Both my mother and my father would have excoriated me for ever going back inside in a fire for any reason.
Get the hell out. Get away from the fire. Do whatever you have to do to get out. If it means jumping out the top window and breaking a leg - break the damn leg.
That was our rule with a fire. Don’t look around for anybody else. Get the hell out. Worry about the rest of it - once you are out of the house and safe.
You are not superman.
**** “You are not superman” ****
No you ain’t.
See my post 31 ... I would be what you call Kryptonite to YOU.
Take your stinking RULES and SHOVE THEM... ya moron.
TT
Bull sh*t...I personally ran into a nearly fully involved house fire when I was 20 years old, as the "First responders" just arrived and I grabbed an elderly women who was still collecting things to save and somewhat forcibly walked/pushed her out.
Stop with that BS.
To finish this, the homeowner female was hosing down her son on the front lawn, who’d been severely burnt while working on his car in the attached garage, gas fire, she was screaming, “My Moms still in the house”...Home nearly fully engulfed at that point. So I went in and got her.
That lady might have never made it out, if I had not ran in and grabbed her. I just happened by on my Harley at 20 years old,....So stop with your first responder BS script.
That may be your rule, but all of the many first responders I personally know have put their own lives in jeopardy going into burning buildings, cars, and airplanes whenever they could be of aid to others.

There is not enough information in the article to determine definitively whether it was cowardice, but based on the facts presented it certainly appears to be a major factor.
Real life is not the movies. Sure, it sounds great to run in there and try to save your kid and get back out - but if you run in there and die how does that help anyone?
Your overly simplistic analysis completely neglects the likelihoods involved of the danger to the rescuer and the chance of rescue of the victim. Most people I know would gladly put themselves at some risk to provide others a significant hope. Your faulty absolutist view does not allow for a rescuer to take even a very small risk for an almost certain rescue. That does seem cowardly.
I have two younger brothers. I have had to look after them since they were small. Both my mother and my father would have excoriated me for ever going back inside in a fire for any reason.
Now we can all see where you developed this odd point of view. I would hate to be born into your family. You are lucky to have survived that abject lack of parental and familial self-sacrificial love. I hope you never find yourself in any danger, you would be on your own!
Get the hell out. Get away from the fire. Do whatever you have to do to get out. If it means jumping out the top window and breaking a leg - break the damn leg.
And whatever you do, don't slow down to save someone else! Am I starting to figure you out?
That was our rule with a fire. Don’t look around for anybody else. Get the hell out. Worry about the rest of it - once you are out of the house and safe.
Wow, I was right about you! This along with your earlier advice to never run into a burning home means that you would never incur any risk to help anyone else. This really paints an ugly picture of you as a person. Can you see that?
You are not superman.
And from everything you have posted here, you aren't even a man. I pity you.
