I am trying to catch up. We're the firefighters responding to an emergency call and taken hostage when they arrived?

Thanks Cheese.
He must have planned this in advance...it seems. Interesting that he let one go to return the truck.

A woman just arrived on scene crying and said her son is one of the firefighters inside. She said he is 29.

Oh no... Praying. These guys risk their lives everyday--- they're not the ones who foreclosed on the home. Whatever the reasons that led this man to the point he is at now, they have nothing to do with it. Please spare them.
