Responding to a Fire... (Score 1)

Wow this whole thing is pure spin. Read original article. The Fire Department responds to a fire on the premises. Unrelated to the fire they find (quoting from the newspaper article linked): Vessels of chemicals were all over the furniture and the floor, authorities said. The ensuing investigation involved a state hazardous materials team, fire and police officials, health officials, environmental officials and code enforcement officials. The Deebs were told to stay in a hotel while the slew of officials investigated and emptied the basement. So while reaction from the official quoted is troubling--it sounds like initial response was spot on and it would have been irresponsible of the Fire Department not to check it out.
