Bruce Springsteen’s son sworn in as firefighter

[Nebuchadnezzar]

So since he joined there have been two more fatalities in house fires. Hmmm I'm not Sherlock Holmes but I know whose locker I would be looking in.

It's a situation worth watching for sure. I'll be vigiliant.

There have been 11 fatal home fire incidents in New Jersey during 2020. Compare that to 46 overall in 2019 - it may be a tough first year for young Samuel. This stat had gone up from by 2 since the other day.

There has been one more fatal home fire incident in New Jersey since Friday, taking the total for 2020 to 12 so far. Was Bruce's spawn the answer to the problems? Only time will tell.

Good luck to the lad. Nice to see a kid of a celeb doing something worthwhile.

Sleeping for 7 of your 12 hour night shift and then getting up refreshed to plaster someones front room is hardly classed as worthwhile.

Billy Joel’s son says he didn’t start the fire.

Has nobody mentioned the slipery pole? You are slipping.

Most of us don’t think about slippery poles Karen. ;)

The juvenile firesetter intervention programme accounts for 19.3% of the specialised services offered by New Jersey fire department. More stats here:

I'd say this is where we could see Sam at his best. He could be waxing lyrical about the dangers of fire, and then deliver the line; "Here's my Dad to sing a little song to you about what happens when you set fires".
