I don't know what your experience is, but mine is the opposite. Nobody ever notices people who put out fires, and it's hard to should "hey guys! There's a fire here that John started, I'm putting it out!" without looking like a jerk for outing John.
Fewer still notice the fire-preventer.
Oh, no, neither prevent the fires not put them out. Instead, predict them, and then say "see?" when they break out.
That's a risky business, you can get the blame if you're not careful. "Why didn't you try harder if you knew this would happen" etc.
