I heard the fire department wants wide lanes so they can drive around in those huge behemoths they love.

People living in buildings that are currently aflame tend to be fans of those behemoths. Speaking from experience.

In Europe they're smaller. I don't know if the fires are also smaller.

Surely that's not THE determining factor behind American transportation system.
