- oppose for the records. -- relet 13:31, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
- Well then for the records I'll also oppose this, so it can fall out of limbo... Just too boring to become an achievement --HiroProtagonist 17:11, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose. There's no reason for it to exist, as it's neither very impressive nor significant. The amount of "bring X to the point" achievements that already exist bothers me, and more certainly aren't needed unless they're really convincing. --KerrMcF (talk) 00:28, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

Do not start a fire at the hashpoint solely to give yourself an excuse to activate the fire extinguisher. --starbird 10:26, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
This made me laugh. It's so random, but you can totally see an xkcd character carrying a fire extinguisher around for no reason. With starbird's amendment I support this achievement. -Robyn 16:15, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
- Well, it's lighter than a couch. And remember, Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires. --starbird 17:07, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
The achievement should clarify what a fire extinguisher is. Sand, Water and CO2 are excellent fire extinguishers readily available at most geohashes. -- relet 20:47, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
- Please give an example how one would gather a significant quantity of CO2 to be able to extinguish a fire with it. I think gathering water or sand at the location isn't really trying (it's the same thing as bringing ice to claim a Frozen Geohash), also the latter could be considered violating the "natural integrity of the area". However, there seem to be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_sand_bucket - maybe if such a dedicated bucket was brought on the expedition? There are also fire blankets. I think the equipment should be intended and approved for fighting fire. --The ru 06:53, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
I love this one. So funny! --TheJosh 01:09, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
Maybe we could have another one (slightly more serious) for bringing first aid kits? --The ru 06:59, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
- Ok, I made another proposal: First Aid Achievement --The ru 09:27, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
