Local firefighter & cadet jailed for arson

Recently a fellow brother and cadet from my station was arrested for two seperate arson cases. What is this world becoming!? Sure we all like to play with fire and put it out and even some setting fires like bonfires and TRAINING fires but arson? Anymore it's become almost a regular thing that you hear of or see on the news that firefighters,ems personel, and even police are comitting serious acts of crime,sex, drugs or whatever else. What has happened to the pride, respect, honor and the loyalty of our services? Don't get me wrong, sure these felons slipped through the cracks in the system till they were finally caught and not everyone is that way. Sorry, I just had to vent a little cause I'm sure you'd be just as disgusted if this was to happen at your station. Be safe out there and wear those badges and uniforms with pride and honor in the services that we provide no matter how thick the shit might get.

There are bad people in all walks of life. But correction there mate, if he's been found guilty of arson, he's no 'fellow brother' of mine.

As Jake said, the bad thing about this is the damage he's done to your FD - the work you'll all have to undertake to recover your good reputation. You'll get there.; ▶ Reply to This
