   It's getting worse too.  There was an article in our local paper   
   recently about new construction methods allowing for taller buildings   
   made entirely from wood.   
      
   At least around here they are now required to have sprinkler systems,   
   but that doesn't help a fire fueled from an outside source too much, and   
   water isn't really good at putting out oil train fires anyway.  They   
   need massive foam sprayers, but those are generally only available at   
   large airports.  It's been one of the discussions in our local paper: no   
   fire department has the equipment needed to put out a fire from this   
   stuff, except the Port of Portland Airport Fire Department, and they   
   aren't really that close to the line with the most oil traffic except in   
   one small area.
