I'm going to be honest, I'm sorry that the situation in Australia (I assume) is as bad as it is but I think you're overreacting about the film.

Nayrt

Thinking that people burning to death isn't fun is an overreaction? Are you one of tho people who sees someone express mild disfavor and goes "OMG HAAAAAATERS!"

If people burn to death in the movie, I'm fully prepared to accept that it wouldn't be funny. It looks like it's a fairly typical family comedy set in a fire station.

And a fire station can be serious, but that doesn't mean that it can't also be portrayed in a way that's light and funny, either. How many comedies are there about police, for Pete's sake?

Yet another NAYRT and I can actually think of another movie with a comedic fire department, Roxanne, that has Steve Martin as modern Cyrano de Bergerac—and a fire chief—and I’m sure there’s more. I mean, Hitler was horrifying and The Producers is still funny as hell. I don’t think exempting topics from comedy is a good idea.

Yeah, agreed. The whole point of comedies is that you aren't supposed to think too hard about the larger ramifications of what happens in them, you're just supposed to laugh at the on-screen antics. Most comedies fall apart if you actually take them 100% seriously in regards to what goes on during them.
