FULTON, Miss. — It’s everyone’s dream to be a hero, but three Itawamba County firefighters took that dream too far.

They were supposed to protect the community, but Sunday around 1 a.m., Itawamba County Sheriff Chris Dickinson said they did the opposite.

Dennis Howery, 19, of Mantachie, Tristen Loague, 19, of Fulton and Collin Jones, 20, of Mantachie allegedly walked into a mobile home at 95 Ballardsville Road in the Dorsey community, set it on fire and ran away, hoping to return and extinguish the blaze.
