Commentary for Ketubot 140:13

והא אמר ר' אמי בדליקה התירו לומר כל המכבה אינו מפסיד בדליקה למעוטי מאי לאו למעוטי כי האי גוונא לא למעוטי שאר איסורים דשבת

But surely R. Ammi said: In [the case of] a fire [breaking] out on Shabbat] they allowed one to say “Whoever puts out the fire will not suffer a loss.” Now what does [the expression] “In a fire” exclude? Does it not exclude a case of this kind?v No; [it was meant] to exclude other acts that are forbidden on Shabbat.
