Maybe the whole story would be helpful before people make their minds up that the Fire Service did a shit job.

True. Without water the fire brigade can't do much if its going well. I'm in the fire service too and i'm sure the crews done their best to save what they could. Its sad to see someones pride & joy go up in smoke. sorry for your troubles M8.

Thats not good m8 i hope it was'nt kids with match

My uncle works on a farm nr me and they had the sraw barn set a light at the person who did it was standing there talking to my uncle saying it was kids and they went off up the road there

He only got found out as he had do 1 more earlyer that night about 6 miles away and one of the crew sore him talking to someone at that one

And the police toke him toke him to court but he got did a bunk
The thing is i know the bloke 22yrs old as i went to scholl with him and his DAD is is a firefighter
It was some thing to do with not getting a job with them or some thing His fooked in the head in my eyes away

Hope some thing works out for you m8

True.

My comment was given on the facts I had available. If there's no water available then there's not much you can do!
