The statement "A man can report a fire." is true because A man (or a woman) can report a fire because they can talk and use mechanical communication devices.  Non-human creatures can also report fires by their own inherent sense of danger and through their inate means of communication to other beings.  There are animals other than humans who have been specifically trained to report dangers such as fires to humans.  Animal behavior changes when there are such dangers as forest fires, earthquakes, etc.  So, while it is true that "a man can report a fire."  Human males are NOT unique in this ability!
