	Firebreak - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A firebreak or fireroad is a gap in vegetation or other combustible material that is expected to slow or stop the progress of a wildfire.
		A firebreak may be a road – from a jeep trail to a freeway – or a path of removed vegetation along a ridge that is intended for no other purpose.
		The worlds's most expensive firebreak was created when the whole street of Van Ness was dynamited to stop the spread of fire resulting from the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.

	The DaimlerChrysler Labor Deal: Breakthrough or Firebreak? - by Stephen Silvia
		Moreover, the DaimlerChrysler deal has given organized labor an alternative model that it can deploy as a firebreak to channel future concessionary bargains away from expanding the workweek, such as the recent agreement covering two Siemens mobile phone plants.
		Labor leaders were well aware that any agreement that expanded working time in the highly profitable Mercedes Car Group in a flagship company like DaimlerChrysler would produce a plethora of demands for similar concessions throughout the metalworking sector and the German economy.
		The DaimlerChrysler deal is a skillfully constructed firebreak for organized labor, but it can only be seen as a disappointment for those wishing to increase German labor market flexibility, particularly by expanding working time.
