He's like the Fire Captain out here who gave classes up and down the state on arson detection. He set numerous fires that killed a few people then the klutz wrote a novel detailing all his arson fires. He's on death row last I heard.

this is totally stupid... setting 2 fires in different areas of the house and thinking he could get away with it. im glad he got caught and he desereves a more severe punishment by law simply for being a firefighter.
guys like this gives us honest firefighters across the country a bad name.

Awww, Dead Man, firefighters are amazing. There's just a few bad ones here and there, just like in any professional. Firefighters are doing a lot of great things across the country though, and we appreciate you all.
