I'm shocked this even made the news.

Good job!

The headline makes it sound like he was on his way to a detail, saw the house on fire, and helped the house...how he did it, I don't know; maybe he threw more wood on the fire. Hell, I guess I should just read the article.

I thought the same thing. The guy toss some gasoline on the fire?

I demand to know immediately what this officers salary is, and how much of it is from details!

My contention has always been that detail pay comes from private companies, and therefore isn't subject to a public records request.

You know, I read this and noticed some pretty shoddy reporting. Channel 7 really needs to get its act togethter, they never listed how much he made last year?

A veteran Wellesley police officer just weeks from retirement was on his way to a traffic detail Monday afternoon when he discovered a house burning and dashed in to search for people amid flames and heavy smoke.
Rick Weaver, 62, noticed an orange glow in the sky at about 3:57 p.m., according to a police statement. When he went to investigate, he saw flames shooting out of the first floor of a ranch house at the end of Ashmont Road, a dead-end street near the Needham line.
Weaver radioed for assistance and then, with help from a passing FedEx delivery driver, forced his way inside.
No one was in the house, but officials praised Weaver for his bravery.

Enjoy your retirement!

Or what type of hat (Cover) he had on if any!
