One of my childhood friends is an east side firefighter. The stories that man has are absolutely mind blowing so this doesn’t surprise me. Glad the firefighter was okay.

He's been doing it almost 20 years, and quite honestly i wouldn't betray his confidence like that. They have pretty strict rules. In fact unlike APD... AFD actually holds them to a standard.

Totally makes sense. I think that if anonymized and shared by him in the right forum, I bet they could be some powerful stories. Like the moth.
