Volunteer fireman accused of setting fire to fire station

 

A teenage volunteer firefighter has been charged with setting fire to a fire station in New York state.

 

The fire at Bellmore firestation in Mineola caused around $1 million worth of damage, the equivalent of £695,000.

 

Clifford Seaman has been charged with one count of third-degree arson and with resisting arrest.

 

The 19-year-old has been suspended from the department pending the outcome of the case.

 

Seaman is said to have taken an active role in fighting the fire, reports The New York Times.

 

He is said to have been first on the scene, carrying the nozzle of a hose into the flames.

 

The boy has been held in lieu of $50,000 (£34,700) bond by First District Court in Hempstead.

 

He has been ordered to undergo a psychological evaluation.

Plus they couldn't figure out how to modify the helmet to cover his "special needs".
