Soon after the arrest, Herzog was bailed out of jail by Cannelton Mayor Mary Snyder.

You think the Mayor would have bailed him out had he been drunk?

Be interesting to hear " the rest of the story "

Does “to hear the rest of the story” mean “to hear the events following to the arrest?”

Or is it what Paul Harvey meant when he said “and now for the rest of the story,” you were “to hear the true story?”

Breaking windows and letting more oxygen into a fire is a no no. It sounds like the chief might have gotten carried away but he is the supervisor and the highest Authority on the scene and everyone else needs to follow his commands.

Have you set a precedent here that we all may regard as an example and guide to be considered in your future posts?

We can only vaguely hope so and that this is a prelude to you becoming truthfully objective …

How about posting a picture of yourself so we can all judge from your photo whether or not you are a drunk.

KooK, should I get stewed like Herzog, then pick a fight with cops at a fire scene, my pic will be available, not before. Now beat it dimwit, and go pick a fight with a cop. I'd love to see you deposited head first in a garbage dumpster.

You think the Mayor would have bailed him out had he been drunk?

“You think” the Murrietta Mayor would be arrested for drunk driving….HE WAS.

“You think” the mayor Fairfax would be arrested for attempting to trade drugs for sex….HE WAS.

“You think” the D.C. Mayor would be arrested for possession of cocaine….HE WAS.

There are numerous other cases similar to these …

Your analogy for as a supporting purpose is deserving of derisive ridiculing mockery.

And….I just finished doing just that.

should I get stewed like Herzog,

Your statement borders on slander.

There is absolutely no evidence that Herzog was "stewed".

This is just another example of the arrogance of cops.

The Fire Department Chief has control of the scene, not the police.

Breaking windows and letting more oxygen into a fire is a no no. It sounds like the chief might have gotten carried away but he is the supervisor and the highest Authority on the scene and everyone else needs to follow his commands.

Common sense tells anyone that this is a fact.

The article neglects to mention that officers were entering the building looking for possible victims

You obviously didn't watch the video. Which is part of the article.

Your statement borders on slander.

KooK, his face is red and his nose basically blinks. He's stewed to the balls. Even someone with your remedial education and drug addled brain should be capable of seeing that.

You obviously didn't watch the video.

No, you obviously didn't watch the video. None of the footage aired of the event contradicted anything I posted.

Read it again, man up, and apologize.

Cannelton Fire Chief Arrested after Shoving a Police Officer at a Fire Scene Perry County (Cannelton): The chief of the Cannelton Fire Department was arrested Tuesday for shoving a police officer multiple times at a fire scene.

Tuesday evening, Cannelton Fire and Police Departments responded to an active structure fire at 550 Knight Street, Cannelton. Cannelton Police Officer Ryen Foertsch and Perry County Deputy Stephen Poehlein arrived at the scene, and immediately entered the burning residence to make sure nobody was inside. After clearing two rooms of the home, smoke became too overwhelming, forcing the officers from the fire.

Once outside, Foertsch attempted to break the window of a room that he was unable to clear. Fire Chief Christopher Herzog approached Foertsch, pushed him hard enough to cause him to step back, and began shouting profanities at him, telling him to get off of his fire scene. Foertsch tried explained to Herzog what they were doing in clearing the burning home, at which point Herzog pushed Foertsch again, and again yelled profanities at Foertsch to get off of his scene.

Both officers conveyed the situation to their superiors. At the request of Cannelton Police Chief Lee Hall, troopers with the Indiana State Police were contacted to investigate the complaint. After investigating, Troopers Jeremy Galloway and Nathaniel Kern arrived at the scene of the fire and placed Herzog into custody. Herzog was lodged in the Perry County Jail.

Arrested and charges: Christopher W. Herzog, 51 Cannelton, IN - Battery Against a Public Safety Official, Level 6 Felony

his face is red and his nose basically blinks. He's stewed to the balls.

Please state your evidence that Herzog was drunk.

Oh, you can't?

Typical.

...officers were entering the building looking for possible victims

That isn't their job at a fire scene unless requested by the Fire Chief, who has command.

The article neglects to mention that officers were entering the building looking for possible victims,

You need reading comprehension classes.

You said the article did not mention..........

It was in the video. Hence my comment.

Try to pay attention. Try to keep up.

Breaking windows and letting more oxygen into a fire is a no no. It sounds like the chief might have gotten carried away but he is the supervisor and the highest Authority on the scene and everyone else needs to follow his commands.

Common sense tells anyone that this is a fact.

Each PD, FD and EMS has published procedures to follow….or definitely should have….and each department coordinates with the other departments in establishing those procedures. There are a number of these procedures posted on the internet. All are basically the same, especially when relating to task priority. I randomly picked one to quote for you, it is from Phoenix:

Procedure

The first-arriving company officer at the scene of a multi-patient or mass casualty incident shall establish Command. The initial Incident Commander (IC) shall remain in Command until Command is transferred or the incident is stabilized and Command is terminated. Command is responsible for the completion of the tactical objectives. The general tactical objectives, listed in order of priority, are:

1. Remove endangered occupants and treat the injured.

[….]

The cops arrived on the scene, recognized that, and the were following the procedure accepted as the published norm….they were checking for endangered occupants.

Something the volunteer fire chief should already have done….but obviously had not since he violently tried to stop the cops from performing the correct task.

The volunteer fire chief was apparently too shot in the ass with his authority and position to follow standard procedures and he got belligerent…..like might be “expected from an uncompromising drunkard.”

Breaking windows and letting more oxygen into a fire is a no no.

It sounds like the chief might have gotten carried away but he is the supervisor and the highest Authority on the scene and everyone else needs to follow his commands.

And the rest of the statement is pure BULLSHIT for you don’t blindly follow orders [as you have said numerous times] when you know those orders are totally incorrect, completely asinine and lives may be endangered.

The fire chief was wrong….and the fire chief was arrested

The cops were not wrong and the cops were not arrested.

Hey, asshole, stop with your damned whining …

...officers were entering the building looking for possible victims

That isn't their job at a fire scene unless requested by the Fire Chief, who has command.

The published normal procedure upon arriving at the scene of a fire is:

Procedure

The first-arriving company officer at the scene of a multi-patient or mass casualty incident shall establish Command. The initial Incident Commander (IC) shall remain in Command until Command is transferred or the incident is stabilized and Command is terminated. Command is responsible for the completion of the tactical objectives. The general tactical objectives, listed in order of priority, are:

1. Remove endangered occupants and treat the injured.

[….]

Extracted from te Phoenix handbook.

The cops recognized that the volunteer fire chief had NOT performed that task and THEY PERFORMED THE TASK.

The cops are to be commended, the incompetent hothead volunteer fire chief needed to be arrested….HE WAS.

And the cop-haters are proceeding on the assumption that the home was on fire when the fireman committed a felony assault on the police officer. Reports indicate that the fire was extinguished at that point, but reignited later.

These cop-hating assholes are oblivious to checking facts….they ignore them.

All that matters is their agenda and personal opinions.

Disgraceful …

The Fire Department Chief has control of the scene, not the police.

TOO FUNNY …

The volunteer fire chief lost control of himself at the scene and acted irrationally, not the police.

However, the police version of the story makes it sound like Herzog was some crazed assailant attacking heroes. Now, the firefighter is facing a felony.

And this YELLA journalistic piece of shit is just as slanted.

Disgraceful …

Yes you are, sucking yukon's asshole. You are a queer, just like him.

the cop-haters are proceeding on the assumption that the home was on fire when the fireman committed a felony assault on the police officer. Reports indicate that the fire was extinguished at that point, but reignited later.

Proving that the Fire Chief was right, and the arsonist cops fueled the fire, and rekindled it, and burned the house.

The Fire Chief will be found, NOT GUILTY. The fact that he was arrested is just further testimony to the incompetence and malice of the scofflaw pigs.

I pointed out that in fact that video did in fact mention that. So I was right and you have a reading comprehension problem.

So shut your pathetic pie hole.

You said to me after ONLY reading an article, that:

From the looks of it - he's [APD Police Chief] an honest cop..

… his face [looks] red and his nose basically blinks. He's [Volunteer Fire Chief Christopher Herzog] stewed to the balls.

Please state your evidence that Herzog was drunk.
Oh, you can't?
Typical.

You straying from the accepted right and normal way of objectively analyzing something and deviating into La La Land is so atypical of a sane and rational person.

At least try to stay consistent while living in your warped world …

Who has authority at a fire scene, the Fire Chief or a patrolman?

Reports indicate that the fire was extinguished at that point, but reignited later.

Most likely due to the "police officer" breaking the windows.

I say let the experts handle a fire, the cops should only be there to direct traffic.

That isn't their job at a fire scene unless requested by the Fire Chief, who has command.

Please state your evidence that it isn't their job at a fire scene unless requested by the Fire Chief, who has command.

Oh gee, the Fire Chief has the training and experience fighting fires.

The cops - not so much.

But if it is your contention that cops should be placed in charge of residential fire scenes, people will die as a result.

Do you really want that?

Something the volunteer fire chief should already have done….but obviously had not since he violently tried to stop the cops from performing the correct task.

Oh, so that's your rationale now?

There is no evidence to show that the Fire Department failed to search the house. It makes sense to me that experienced and highly trained firefighters would know to do that first.

To make matters worse, as the house burned, the police ordered the remaining fire crew off of the property, preventing them from doing their jobs and putting lives and property at risk.

Apparently the cops were not really interested public safety.

It was just another example of an arrogant cop flexing his authoritah when he should have been directing traffic or fetching donuts and coffee for the real heroes.

The article he posted did not mention it. The article he linked to did not mention it. Now. like a craven bitch, you whine that the article linked to an article that linked to a video, and pretend you've made a point.

Just a suggestion - maybe you could get an update on your 64K phone modem so you are able to watch videos and not appear to be so much of a lying assclown.

You claim to have been a cop. Who has authority at a fire scene, the Fire Chief or a patrolman?

Furthermore, a better question to ask: Is a patrolman allowed to take direct action when a volunteer fire chief does not follow the published procedure and lives may be endangered because of that?

Procedure

The first-arriving company officer at the scene of a multi-patient or mass casualty incident shall establish Command. The initial Incident Commander (IC) shall remain in Command until Command is transferred or the incident is stabilized and Command is terminated. Command is responsible for the completion of the tactical objectives. The general tactical objectives, listed in order of priority, are:

1. Remove endangered occupants and treat the injured.

[….]

The volunteer fire chief did NOT check the house for any endangered occupants. He was negligent in his duty by not following established procedure.

Follow Up Question: Since the volunteer fire chief did not perform his duty at all….then is the patrolman to stand down and not check the house for occupants after an irresponsible hothead volunteer fire chief abdicated his duties and acted irrationally by not following published procedures?

Any volunteer fire chief who lost control of himself at the scene and reacts violently by physically attacking a Public Safety Official should be arrested and relieved of his duty as the volunteer fire chief.

The Indiana State Troopers independently investigate the incident and they arrested the volunteer fire chief.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Most likely due to the "police officer" breaking the windows.

Your posted article doesn't say he broke the window. It shows that he was feloniously assaulted while he was "attempting to smash in one of the windows of the house."

You can't even keep your lies straight.

a piece of writing included with others in a newspaper, magazine, or other publication.

Craven bitch #2.

Oh gee, the Fire Chief has the training and experience fighting fires.

What a coward.

I'll try again: Please state your evidence that it isn't their job at a fire scene unless requested by the Fire Chief, who has command.

The Indiana State Troopers independently investigate the incident and they arrested the volunteer fire chief.

He'll flee your point, gibbering in angry terror.

Oh gee, the Fire Chief has the training and experience fighting fires.

KooK, tell that to the families of the 60 cops who died while evacuating the fire engulfed Twin Towers on 9/11.

KooK, tell that to the families of the 60 cops who died while evacuating the fire engulfed Twin Towers on 9/11.

You nuked him.

Reports indicate that the fire was extinguished at that point, but reignited later.
Most likely due to the "police officer" breaking the windows.

Besides, you need to read and comprehend the yellow journalism article you posted.

Foertsch was attempting to smash in one of the windows of the house….

I say let the experts handle a fire, the cops should only be there to direct traffic.

Oh gee, the Fire Chief has the training and experience fighting fires.

...tell that to the families of the 60 cops who died while evacuating the fire engulfed Twin Towers on 9/11.

Oh - were those cops also fighting the fires?

Oh gee, the Fire Chief has the training and experience fighting fires.

Procedure

The first-arriving company officer at the scene of a multi-patient or mass casualty incident shall establish Command. The initial Incident Commander (IC) shall remain in Command until Command is transferred or the incident is stabilized and Command is terminated. Command is responsible for the completion of the tactical objectives. The general tactical objectives, listed in order of priority, are:

1. Remove endangered occupants and treat the injured.

[….]

Foertsch was at the location of the fire and in plain clothes, not dressed as an officer and was attempting to smash in one of the windows of the house, a move that could have obviously made the fire far worse.

Post your picture so we can all judge whether or not you are drunk.

Non sequitur.

Ridiculous ...

There is no evidence to show that the Fire Department failed to search the house.
