Former Firefighter Accused of Arson and Theft | Detroit News

A former Detroit firefighter is facing serious charges after allegedly setting multiple fires and stealing from homes and a firehouse between July and August. Prosecutors say he targeted properties, stole appliances and even pitbull puppies, then torched them — including a recent blaze just days ago. He also allegedly broke into a firehouse while crews battled another fire, snatching personal items. Though no one was injured, the community is stunned by the betrayal — especially since Anderson had already resigned from the department last year. Authorities are sending a clear message: anyone who endangers public safety will face consequences, no matter their background.
