Tynan, who in your one-man company had the unutterable ridiculous idea to make what seems like 50% of all characters unable to fight fires?
It's already hard to find new colonists since Alpha 3 as I stated in this (http://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=3337.msg31765#msg31765) thread.
And it's even harder to sell a prisoner who could be a valuble member of the colony, but someone who pees himself when he's told to blew out a candle simply has no place in this world.

What makes u think he did that?
Well it's his game, there maybe characters made by community members but in the end he decides what's added into the game.
What makes u think he sets 50% of all characters unable to fight fires?
Because they ARE unable to fight fires (the 50% are a guess, because it feels like that).
Well, from my experience I would say that 5%.
i say 1%
I never got a colonist that cant put out fires
actually i had an entire colony full of them(no one could do it :/) and a few colony's without any of those bastards (bad luck i guess)
Then you're lucky, almost every colonist I see who could be usefull (especially at game setup) is incapable of fighting fire.
One time I had four or five colonists and the newest one couldn't fight fires, so I thought "I have so many firefighters, I can take this one". It was a complete catastrophe, I will never do this mistake again.
Yeah, there is a problem with them, that they can't even extinguish themselves...

yea that's just a pain..

*thinks how to make it nearly impossible to play...*
You keep wondering how someone with only skills for melee and shooting manages to eat, or even be able to walk if he's too dumb to haul some rocks to a stockpile or piss out a fire ;)

Even better: If someone can cook, but can't haul, he can haul the eat to the hopper, BUT NO OTHER THING TO ANY OTHER PLACE.

Why then they can haul it for butchering and cooking, but not to store in stockpiles?

At least the game is kind enough to let it rain most of the time when there is a prolonged fire.
Hi, I'd like to introduce you to Randy Random, one crazy Mofo that will burn down your entire colony with a potato. If you would like some mercy, you can try reconciling with him if you're feeling lucky, But I guarantee you that you probably aren't.
He also rather disagrees with being understandable or predictable, so the moment you're expecting rain to put out that fire... He'll pour gasoline on it...
