How dare they protect their homes!??!
The latest This Is True newsletter turned me on this great story of a local police idiot.
An insurance company sent a small private fire crew to protect some homes it insured that were threatened by a wildfire. Control freaks at the PD were not happy--"That sounds ridiculous to me," said Kim Rogers, a Ketchum Police Department spokesman, " I mean, this is a Forest Service fire, not a private fire."
Heaven forbid the insurance firm or residents don't leave their fate in the Forest Service's hand, but actually try to protect their property.
