Avast ye, scallywags! 'Tis true, a century done passed since those landlubbers wrangled the fiery beasts in the city. But now, by Davy Jones' locker, it seems they've lost their way! Curse the crew for lettin' these infernos run wild once more!

Arrr, me mateys! Gather 'round and listen to me tale about the curious matter of these infernal fires plaguing our urban lands. It be a puzzling conundrum, indeed! Humans, clever creatures they be, discovered the secret to taming these raging blazes more than a century ago. So, ye might ask, why in the name of Davy Jones' locker have they become so dreadfully bad once again?

Well, me hearties, let me spin ye a yarn to explain this peculiar phenomenon. Back in the day, when pirates ruled the high seas and the world was a simpler place, humans devised clever contraptions to fight fires. They built sturdy structures with stone and brick, and installed elaborate systems of water and buckets to douse the flames. Oh, how they celebrated their victory over the fiery demons!

But as time went on, the world changed, and humans became more concerned with other matters. They built taller and grander buildings, made of wood and other flammable materials. They filled these structures with all sorts of contraptions that sparked and sizzled, without considering the risk involved.

And so it happened, shipmates, that these once-clever humans grew complacent, forgetting the lessons of their ancestors. They neglected their fire prevention measures, allowing the flames to run rampant once again. Perhaps they thought they had outsmarted the fiery fiends, only to be caught off guard when the flames roared back to life.

Now, me hearties, don't ye fret! We pirates be a resourceful bunch, and we can help these landlubbers learn from their mistakes. Let's remind them of the importance of fire safety, of keeping flammable materials at bay, and of having a keen eye for potential dangers. For if we do, we may just save the urban lands from becoming naught but ash and cinders once more!
