Top Comments of the Week

"My only concern is that they are doing this in their bunker gear. As a member of a volunteer department, I know how precious resources can be, and the chance of damaging their bunker gear is very possible. That said, we did that in college."
�Chris Hudson in response to Chief responds to video of firefighters snow stunt

"There was no one there trained to safely rescue him. The important thing is the responders went home to their families. Doing what you're not trained or certified to do can get you hurt or killed and it puts other people's lives in danger."
�Wes Wallace in response to Judge: Responders had no legal duty to help drowning man
