Firefighters in Hot Water for Posting a Prank on YouTube

Be careful about posting pranks on YouTube. For all you know, you might be doing something really stupid (in an illegal way) and the authorities would have proof.

From BBC News:

Officials are investigating after a uniformed firefighter was apparently filmed being spun in a tumble dryer.

The video shows a uniformed man climbing into the industrial drying machine and packing clothes around to cushion himself.

Here’s the actual video on YouTube. I watched it, and it seems pretty funny. And our heroes (firefighters, police officers, and others in the uniformed services) do need to lighten up a bit every now and then. However, these people risk damaging equipment and even hurting themselves, which is quite worrisome from a taxpayer’s perspective.
