News about a fake

Let me tell you about a husband and wife who ought to go to Hell as fast as they can get there in their fire engine.

I know, I know, that's a lot to say. But Dustin Nehl (31) and his wife Jennifer (44) were arrested while trying to sneak into the Palisades Fire evacuation zone while those awful fires out west were running wild.

Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman is charging the fun couple with one misdemeanor charge each, specifically "fraudulent impersonation of a specific fire personnel, unauthorized activities with respect to badges or related matter, and false representation."

 L.A. County Sheriff’s Department personnel detained them  on Jan. 18. They were trying to enter an evacuation zone in Malibu while wearing fake firefighter gear, including Cal Fire uniform shirts, and they were driving a fire engine they bought at an auction.

They were claiming to be with the "Roaring River Fire Department" in Oregon.

Looks real, except...

I put quotation marks around that because there ain't no such a thing as the Roaring River Fire Department. 

I reckon they'll have an attorney show up at their trial, claiming they took a notion to buy a used fire engine and show up at the scene of those devastating fires with no motive in mind other than to protect and serve humanity. 

If they get away with this, I'm going to buy an old police car and go help out the local gendarmerie. Just 'cause, and all.
