I hope they through the book at whoever started this fire. Our community lost a great man. A man who served his community. If other firefighters were in the house when the explosion happened there could have been even greater loss of life. Just another example of how addiction to drugs ruins lives.

I think you misread. They said - if the case is proven to be arson or related to drug activity, then someone could be charged with manslaughter. There was an explosion in the home that started the fire, plus they had already ran off some people that were in the house earlier in the week.

Another hero down for Clarke County and for the town of Stonewall.

You can not charge no one with murder and he was on the way to a fire, because even though the house was vacant the fire could have been caused by faulty wiring.
