It's strange though, how often the arsonists are actually associated with the RFS. A few years ago, my Mother's next-door neighbour was convicted of arson after starting fires around the Illawarra area. The whole family had been part of the Volunteer Fire Brigade for years. I just don't understand what would make then want to start fires after seeing they devastation they can cause. From memory, the guy only got about 6 months prison, nowhere near long enough.

I have a few mates who are firies. They don't get it either. I mean when you experience things first hand you don't want to be in the middle of it again. Boredom, stupidity... I don't know. I reckon their families must be as stumped as we are. The issue is too leniant sentences. Maybe then they would think twice. I don't know anymore. Had the same problem back home in south of France. Every summer. Like clock work. Idiots on the lose. Seems to be a global epidemy. The attention seeking with the media coverage on telly. Twisted individuals for sure. The bottom line still stands. Loss of lives, properties. It's terrible. So apply sentences accordingly. Like they do with drink driving overseas now. Go directly to jail, do not pass Go, do not collect $200. Done.
