A Way To Extinguish House Fires?
#20
It's not a bad idea, but it would cost an astronomical amount. Helicopters like the M26 capable of carrying a giant glass dome start out around $20 million. There are nearly 30,000 fire departments registered with the federal government (normally I'd round down, but since there's probably 30 percent that aren't registered, I'll round up).

That's $600 billion, not including pilot cost, cost of the domes, property destruction, etc.

Just going by a quick google search, there's roughly 2,500 companies that provide home owners insurance in the US. They made about $94 billion in profit last year.

No google search, but there's exactly 0 companies that would spread out a -$506 billion loss just because it's the right thing to do.
