             "fireman" isn't to put out fires, rather it is to start fires. The reading of books in their

             firemen are dispatched to go to that person's residence and start a fire to burn down the

             books, as illustrated here, "They pumped the cold fluid from the numerated 451 tanks
            
             strapped to their shoulders. They coated each book, they pumped rooms full of it...the
            
             whole house is going up" (Bradbury 38).
