As a fireman, this is an absolute disgrace. Not one of those people deserves to be in emergency services for the rest of their lives.

[@TobaccoRoadAI]

Is it standard procedure for a fireman to automatically go through a home regardless of if you were told that there was no one inside? Did the fireman know that she was in there but chicken out knowing how intense the fire was ?

[@tx_1]

Even if they truly believed no one was in there, why are they having fun taking videos? They weren't even curious where the homeowner was or if any pets were inside. I lost everything I owned in a fire, and it's devasting enough but no one was hurt. I wouldn't want firemen just sitting around taking videos of my house & everything I own burn to the ground. My heart is broken for her & everyone who loved her. She sounded like the sweetest thing.

[@andrewcoe8644]

I certainly hope these firefighters weren’t full time professionals. If they were they should be jailed. Unfortunately many firefighters are part time firefighters trying to be a full time hero’s and their abilities and attitude reflect it . Hopefully steps were taken to ensure this doesn’t happen again but generally nothing will change .

[@robinlindberg6339]

I had a fire situation once. Had to call the fire dept. I only lived like 2-3 miles from the fire department. It took them 23 MINUTES to make it to us!!!! All we had at the time was a land line and I was calling them FOUR TIMES, asking them ARE YOU COMING?!!! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤬

They found it unconstitutional to force law enforcement and e.m m.s. to have to do their jobs. This actually went to trial in Florida after the MSDHS shooting. A Broward Sherriffs officer failed to try to neutralize the school shooter that killed 19 Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School students and the community was outraged. It's sad. I think there should be some sort of law that these people get charged with. . . Dereliction of duty, gross misconduct anything. It's sad these idiots probably got away Scott free!!! 😠 😡

However, the script she was taught had no directions outside of waiting for the firefighters and she didn't know what else to do in the situation due to insufficient training. According to the WFLA - 8 "The log shows that a dispatcher told the firefighters several times that Loretta was inside, where she was located and that she was still alive. Yet there is no record in the log of any search, rescue attempt, or any mention of the victim from firefighters on scene." RIP and my condolences to Ms. Pickard's family.

There is not much the phone operator can do tho. Shes on a phone line, not at the fire. She’s trying to get info and keep her calm and alert. Same thing happened with the operators from Sept 11 to the people in the building.

I think 911 did this on purpose. She absolutely lied saying she was talking to FD telling them where in the house she was. The monotone voice saying "I'm still here, Hello, Hello" knowing this woman spent the last 21 minutes dying, begging for your help screams psychopath to me.

Doesn't this exonerate the firefighters from criminal charges? They did not know the house had an occupant. They violated policy by posting the video. That is why their punishment was so lenient. The dispatcher who failed to notify the firefighters of a person inside is the one that should be held criminally responsible. And even then, I did not sense any malice or intent. They just made a mistake. A costly one. OR ... am I missing something?
