We live in this community and its a scary thing to see the woods near you on fire twice and even more scary to think that the same person who we trust to protect us was setting these fires obviously he needs help,, and his brother is the fire chief.

this guys an all around joke and it’s about time he has to deal with some consequence for his actions. the sad part is he’ll probably walk away with a slap on the wrist. it really doesn’t matter who his brother is, or how great the Lumberland fire department is. his brother nor the Lumberland f.d. had nothing to do with his reckless and obviously premeditated actions (other then risking there lives to put it out). people could have died and if he walks away from this with anything less then two years it’s a complete mockery to the legal system.

haha big surprise. this guys gettin less then 2 years. i know people that have done so much less and walked away with much more time then that. wonder if it has anything to do with the fact his girlf friends dads a police leutenit and pulled some strings? or maybe its the fact the buildings he burnt down were insured by his girl friends grandfather?? hmmm… great justice system we got here. but hey, im sure he learned his lesson.. lesson being, know the right people, and you really dont gota worry about much. $250k worth of damage, one injured fire fighter… less then two years.. cant say i understand that one. but hey, i guess thats what our judicial system is comming down to. wonder how many ways the owner had to split that insurance money??
