Hexenherz 01/02/20 2:55:22 PM #1:	https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-50975362 A Michigan fire department has launched an investigation after firefighters posed for a photo in front of a burning house. "Crews take a moment to get a selfie on New Years!" said the caption on the image, report local media. The picture of the crew members was posted on the Detroit Fire Incidents Facebook page. City fire officials said the house and nearby homes were vacant and the crew was marking a colleague's retirement. Detroit Fire Commissioner Eric Jones called the photo "inappropriate and unprofessional" as he announced the internal investigation. In a statement to WXYZ-TV, Mr Jones said: "There are a lot of ways to celebrate a retirement. Taking a photo in front of a building fire is not one of them." The photo was later removed amid a backlash in comments on the post. --- FFXIV: Lucius Hexenseele (Brynhildr) \| RS3: UltimaSuende . 99 WC/Fish/Cook/Fletch/Div/Mining/Smithing/Thieving/Crafting https://letterboxd.com/BMovieBro/ <cite>Hexenherz posted [p:932370545] in Detroit fi...

IdiotMachine 01/02/20 2:57:16 PM #3:	Sometimes, firefighters choose to let a house burn down because that's the safest way (i.e. a controlled burn). If that was the case and they were just sitting around waiting for it to burn down, why not take a selfie? --- https://imgur.com/XNEdLrJ <cite>IdiotMachine posted [p:932370629] in Detroit fi...

Kitt 01/02/20 3:44:07 PM #22:	I guess the thing that's upsetting people is that they would prefer firefighters to put out a fire as soon as possible before it could potentially spread. Considering that we've been dealing with crazy wild fires and shit worldwide for the past few years, it's a risk lots of people don't want to take. This isn't exactly helping. --- Yeah!
