Reading Report “Firebugs in the Firehouse” Time July 8, 2002 Main Idea: What is it about fire and flames that persuade these firefighters to start fires when they are the ones that should be controlling them? 1. We are all humans and have a different monopoly on fires. 2. For all the damage firefighter arsonists do there is no way to tell how many there are in the United States. 3. There are about 1.1 million firefighters in the United States …showed first 75 words of 584 total…

…showed last 75 words of 584 total…with your life in a different direction. The one positive thing I see happening now is the screening on these firefighters before they are ever hired. I think anyone choosing this career should have a thorough background check done from childhood till now. When finished screening if anything would show up in a negative way for this person it can be stopped now before anything severe happens later when he or she is a firefighter.
