America’s Worst Volunteer Firefighter is in Suburban Philly; Identified in The Daily Beast
Posted on January 29, 2015 at 6:12pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
If any one of the over 160 criminal charges filed against him are true, it would be astronomically difficult to argue with The Beast’s opinion that he is America's Worst Volunteer Firefighter.
Sadly, we see these news headlines all too often: Firefighter Charged with Setting Fires. What we don't see, usually never see, is a case like this volunteer firefighter. Authorities claim this guy, already out on bond from serial arson charges, did some other really, really, really bad…

questioned a coach’s decision in regards to you. Like it or not, you had to respect it. It was not an option! Sound…

A conversation heard at a Midwestern fire department between Bobby, the Training Officer and his Chief:
Fire Chief: Go away, Bobby, I’m eating.
T.O. Bobby: Hey, Your Eminence, I have some good news and I have some good news.
Fire Chief: You know me, Bobby. Give me the bad news first.
T.O. Bobby: There is no bad news, Chief.
Fire Chief: There’s never no bad news, Bobby. This is 2010,…
