 EIPS - Stand Where The Fire Has Been
All soon saw that with such a wind-which had now increased to almost a gale-and with grass and prairie shrubs very dry by the day's hot sun, their narrow fire break was simply useless before such a furious and galloping fire-little short of a roaring furnace coming along at ten to fifteen miles an hour.
It is simple for a man to take a match and light the grass ahead of him, and then stand where the fire has been.
Friend, do "stand where the fire has been," and then all you have to do is to praise God for having permitted His fiery judgment to pass over and consume Another.

 Warren Zevon : Stand in the Fire - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
While his songs long had a dark and frantic undercurrent, Zevon was now capable of playing a no-holds-barred rock show where he could bring the sharper edges of his music to the forefront.
The musicians (anchored by flashy lead guitarist David Landau) pour out these tunes with plenty of fire, and the songs rock a lot harder than anything Zevon had summoned in the studio at that point.
No one argues that Warren Zevon is a gifted singer and songwriter, but Stand in the Fire proves that, when he wants to, he can also rock with the best of 'em.
