- <p> Where there's smoke, there's fire. And these days where
- there's fire, there's Ron Howard. The director was on Capitol
- Hill last week testifying about the need to increase funding for
- fire-fighter training. His concern stems from his filming of a
- hot new drama, Backdraft, about two fire-fighting brothers. Many
- of the cast were actual fire fighters whose work with the film
- infernos made him more appreciative of their everyday risks.
- "Fire fighters have this corny but wonderful code based on
- self-sacrifice," Howard says. "They're not complainers, even
- though there is plenty working against them."
