I have to assume that Bagdad has a fire department, seeing as how the bomb drops on individual buildings, and the ensuing fires, do not seem to be spreading in all directions. Has there been any news footage of firefighting? Any sightings of apparatus?

I haven’t seen them, and I’ve been looking. Of course, I’d say there’s a scene safety concern with bombs falling from the sky on a fairly regular basis.
