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.
