NBC 10 Eliminates Town’s Fire Co.

052708benfireman.jpg

Way back in 2004, NBC 10 (”The Investigators!”) broadcast a report alleging that firefighters in Colwyn, Delaware County, were operating an illegal bar, and the mayor and others were going there. Colwyn is a dry town, and Lu Ann Cahn actually said this, “Are you all above the law?” OMG IRL drama.

Then for some reason earlier this month all of Colwyn’s firefighers resigned at once. Cops also raided the “speakeasy” and killed seven members of the Hogan gang, as well as confiscating illegal video poker machines and alcohol.

Then last night the town council ended its relationship with the fire company. The head of the Colwyn Fire Co. was dramatic: “God, heaven forbid, someone gets hurt or really killed. Then it’s really going to hit the fan.” And this is also pretty much the best government plan ever:

Colwyn borough officials said the borough would have fire protection from surrounding Darby and Collingdale until they can re-open a fire company with a core of volunteer firefighters who didn’t go to the firehouse bar.

So thanks to your local media, residents of Colwyn, Pa., you no longer have a fire company. Be sure to thank NBC 10 for the service.

    I really love the one comment on that last NBC 10 story: “Not only do they drink at every firehouse, they also all wash their cars all year long around here, then have the nerve to call and ask for donations. here is my donation, its in the form of advice, stop wasting water on washing your cars. Someone has to pay for it unless they are getting the water for free too…” There are people who really hate firefighters, apparently.

    Colwyn is in Delaware County, PA…not NJ.

    It’s taken Colwyn this long to figure out that prohibition doesn’t work?

    I thought the rest of the country figured it out in 1933.

    they need to start washing those cars with piss instead of water to save money.

    Publicly hating on people who save you from being burned alive is not, from an evolutionary biology standpoint, a desirable trait.
