Put out a fire
To deal with a crisis or urgent problem, usually one that could have been prevented with better planning but now requires everyone to drop everything and panic.
Examples
Examples:
- "I spent all day putting out fires instead of doing real work."
- "We need to put out this fire before it spreads."
- "The fire is out, but the building is still smoking."
