What exactly is your point here? You're telling a firefighter how sure you are that at some point in history a cop has helped someone in a fire because.... ?

Conversely, I've had cops actively prevent me from helping stop a very small house fire, literally on scene just to prevent friends and neighbors from doing anything about it. Got to argue with four gun-toting meatheads while a home burned out from an everyday kitchen accident, place was uninhabitable before the fire dept showed up. Of all the dumbass places to wave your "thin blue line" flag, why here?
