Which is not ideal, but better than setting fire to everything...
The earlier we deal with the fire, the better.
But do rest assured, that fire is coming. You’re putting it off and letting it gather strength. It may just consume us all now.
That depends largely on your standpoint. If you're already on fire then setting more fires in the hopes of getting put out with them isn't irrational.
I don't know if you intended "get put out with them" as a euphemism for "killed" but it fits very nicely.
If putting out each fire requires a certain amount of resources, then your chances go down, as firefighters will be busy with other fires before they get to you.
