Yah, it looks pretty trivial.  There is an old snapshot which contains
assertions such as:

(CapableOf "fire extinguisher" "help put out fire")
(CapableOf "fire fighter" "be call to help in emergency")
(CapableOf "fire in fireplace" "make room feel cozy")
(CapableOf "fire on cruse ship" "be dangerous")

So it is merely a matter of gluing the phrases together.  The more
recent version of conceptnet has a python interface which might make it
even easier.
