was isolated to just the compound. Yes, innocent kids and others were burned to death. But in the Philly MOVE case, people with no connections to MOVE were affected as the fire jumped from rooftop to rooftop. And that they did not even try to contain the fire was even more atrocious.

The Waco fire might have been started from within, and with live rounds of ammunition filling the compound, it was justifiable that no one from the outside dared venture near to stop the fire.
