Suppose that a circular fire spreads in the plane at unit speed. A single fire fighter can build a barrier at speed v>1. How large must v be to ensure that the fire can be contained, and how should the fire fighter proceed? We contribute two results. First, we analyze the natural curve FFv that develops when the fighter keeps building, at speed v, a barrier along the boundary of the expanding fir
