6 Times Firefighters Were NOT Actually Heroes

They use their work uniform to steal from homes

Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who take advantage of their power in order to achieve some goods and money from people who trust them – just like Craig White did while he worked as a paramedic for the Sacramento Fire Department. 

According to investigators of the case, White used his fire department uniform to steal from homes when he was off duty. He told the victims that he wanted to make sure that their houses were protected to prevent fires. After he managed to enter the house, he asked to use their bathroom and then looked for opiate prescriptions. His victims were elderly people because they were more likely to have opiates in their bathrooms. After these events, he was arrested. 

In addition, Joshua Williams, a firefighter at Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department lost his job because he stole money from fire stations when he delivered supplies. His co-workers noticed that someone was taking their money, so they installed a camera and marked some money to find out who was the thief. After this, Williams was arrested.
