Burning Questions

August 23, 2013

With some homeowners refusing to let firefighters interfere with their landscaping in order to fight the fires threatening their homes, will firefighters ever throw up their hands and say, “OK, we’ll let your house burn.”?

Will the Forest Service ever say, “If you don’t practice firewise techniques, we won’t risk our lives by even attempting to keep the fire from your house.”?

Will the Forest Service ever say, “If you build here, you’re on your own.”?

Will I ever be able to figure out the proper punctuation for the above paragraphs?
