And Fire Critic, no more a 'MOMENTARY lapse in judgement' than if the guy would have pulled a flask out of his turnout coat. C'mon man. It's all premeditated. Leave the cameras to Statter so he can get pissed when he isn't allowed to get closer to the scene. Dave, I'm teasing. Nemo, Thats exactly why I say this is deplorable.

It is unfortunate. As with most of the stuff like this that is disturbing, I hope that many learn from this. In this day in age everyone loves to see a photo of themselves fighting fire or photos of the fires they fight. However, that is the job of the photographers, buffs, and onlookers. Our job is to put the fire out. Plain and simple. It is hard to ask for more manpower, tools, equipment, and benefits when we have time for a "Hey Roy snap a photo of this" on the fireground. One moment of lapse of judgement….
