WOW……..What was he thinking??? (or not thinking). “Only in Humboldt”.
Bad trip, coming home drunk to your burned-out house. Shouldn’t get behind the wheel on beer!
Hes a dipshit
What a nightmare.
God works in some mysterious ways if she has to burn your house down to let you know you have a drinking problem.
That would be Lilith the Hell-God -??
Poor guy. If I was out drinking and I heard my house is on fire I think I brush them too. May not be right but that’s what we do
If I was drinking and found out my house was burning I think I would run home too. It may not be right but that’s what most of us would do.
Well, yeah, but he was DUI on a suspended license and on probation. That complicates the issue. “poor guy?” DUI endangers everybody and this guy did not listen to the judge, obviously. Don’t know about the fire, but this dude was asking for trouble and he got it. Oh, in the follow-up story “poor guy” got confrontational with the fire crew which got the police in on it which got Mr. DUI off the street as an act of mercy to the public.
BTW, the neighbors with the fire hats were very cute.
Hey kymkemp, why can’t I post?
You can…But the first time anyone posts, they are held for moderation which means you have to wait for me to come by and check you aren’t spam.
Seems there was one firefighter on scene whose sole duty was to walk around to all the kids and hand out those hats. It was cute.
