Since Danny does not have access to the fire department logs where would you expect he obtains the info from?

Why didn't he bother including the Volies who were FIRST on scene…….give them some credit.
Hot debate. What do you think?

I want to personally thank the GB Volunteers for saving my boat the Wet-n-Wild II. I sustained relatively little damage considering I was docked Starboard of the vessel that appears to have started the fire. Restoration will start today, and I will be back on the water soon. Thanks again guys. And also Buddy for making the initial call, good Heads up !!!
