Thank you. That accounts for it. I understand it now. But... Do you think the word "made" has been left out from the original dialogue?

Besides, could you bother to explain what "honest accident" means?

zuotengdazuoBesides, could you bother to explain what "honest accident" means?It was an honest (unintentional) mistake.
W did not intend the double meaning in "someone gets fired."

zuotengdazuo. Do you think the word "made" has been left out from the original dialogue?It is not a mistake. The dialogue is idiomatic but casual.
Your actions have me confused.

M: What happens if a controlled burn gets out of control?
W: Someone gets fired.
To make ceramic pots, we fire the clay. (Put it in a very hot oven.)
If the fire gets out of control, someone gets burned up.
If a person was responsible for controlling the fire, and fails, he could get dismissed from his position.
