Do you have any pictures of the house following the fire?
Often, most of these fire buildings are obviously terminal within 20 minutes of arrival, yet the fire service calls up their "tanker task forces" and rolls 28 tankers.
If the end result of this muster is 1 standing wall and charred remains in the foundation pool, you ever ask yourself if the same result could have been made with 1 engine and 500 gallon booster tank?
Obviously I am not advocating that extreme, but perhaps we should recognize when what we are doing is more about the realistic eventuality of the effects of fire, timing, and building construction and not some fantasy water shuttle.
I'll be the first to support a "true" property save after such an action. Unfortunately, most of these tanker rodeos almost always end up with the same net result.

Speaking of Fire Stations, How many does Hastings have. I know of at least 3 (Not including EMS). Protection on Warburton, Hook and Ladder and I think 2 more.

Per the attachment in the article, Jane Dunn (wife?sister?mother? of Colin?) appears to have another take on the events rather than letting it be seen as theft of a county vehicle and freelancing in the extreme. The only question is, was she there and witnessed their "heroic" actions, or did he relate his acts to her by phone or electronic media after being taken into custody? Guess we need more investigative details.............................
Must have been more to it than what she says for them to press obstruction charges, you would think.

It just seems like a lot compared to the cities up this way.
