  1. I think they need to bring up some serious charges against the home owner..people need to start showing firefighters more respect...wonder how he would feel if they placed..wanton endangerment for each person that responded to the scene..make him pay for the injuries that the firefighter has to deal with...to the family of the firefighter...my prayers go out to you

  2. That makes alot of sense there Anon... If they start doing that, I believe I'll let my house burn to the ground if I have a fire, and maybe take my neighbors with it, to avoid going to jail.

  3. Putting out fires is what firefighters do. Slapping charges on idiots that cause them is even dumber than the individuals themselves.

    I agree, you might as well let the dump burn to the foundation to avoid going to jail!!!!!
