Do-it-yourself metaphor

I apologize for my recent reticence. Undergoing some minor home reconstruction with major inconvenience, I have been unable to devote my usual time to the blog.

As a result, I offer the above photo from Reuters today. It's my "gift" to those who enjoy metaphors. This one comes with the following elements:

- a house doomed to destruction.

- a fireman, unable to prevent it.

- a resident of the house.

Using the above elements construct a metaphor. Note: To members of the administration such as Scott McClellan, George Bush, Condoleezza Rice, Tom DeLay, Michael Brown, Pat Robertson and Barbara Bush, you may skip this question in that there are no metaphors on your planet.
