Firefighters Charged in Training Fire

In a strange case, two Pennsylvania firefighters have been charged with several criminal offenses including conspiracy, tampering with public records, and arson in regards to a training fire that was set in an acquired structure for training purposes, due to the fact that the building contained asbestos. According to a news report, the pair knew the building contained asbestos, but never the less obtained permits to allow the burn by indicating the building contained no hazardous materials. Additional details are available here.
