I saved the ribs!

This must have been one killer brew.
A South Dakota man was arrested Sunday after he risked life and limb to run back into his burning home to “save” his beer, authorities said.
The blaze broke out inside an apartment building in Sioux Falls at around 12:30 p.m., injuring three people, Keoland.com reported. Two of whom were treated at the scene.
As firefighters were working to put out the fire, a man – in an effort to rescue his brew – pushed past cops and firefighters.
The Sioux Falls Police Department tweeted, “1 in custody after obstructing fire and police. It is not advisable to push past PD and Fire in an attempt to “save your beer”#besmart.”
The department then followed that up with a humorous tweet of a “SpongeBob SquarePants” meme that read, “So you are telling me, the structure was on fire, he was ordered to stay out, and he ran back in for his beer when the SFPD and SFFR were there already…right when you think you have heard it all! #underarrest.”
“This incredibly poor judgment could have put many responders at risk #notworthyourlife,” the department said.
The cause of the fire was not immediately known.

That’s so incredibly stupid.
He could have just told them that there were 4 cases of donuts next to the beer and they would have saved his beer for him.
Well, in some localities it’s difficult if not impossible to buy beer on Sunday.
Probably a 30 pack of Keystone lite
Iit could also have been a special brew he had been working on for several weeks.
I don’t know whether I should be proud or ashamed, but I did the same thing when my fraternity house caught fire and we had 40 cases of beer in the basement.
What more could be called truely “your property” in this day and age? Did the guy call the FD himself or was it some do gooder neighbor? Leave me alone to determine my own course!
I see constitutional issues here.
HEY! Dont forget the BEER !!
All I know is, someone is turning this into a beer commercial any day now.
Long story short, the entire block including his store burned to the ground.
The lawsuit over that car cost my local over one million.
I know a bunch of firemen. Them buzzards wanted the beer for themselves, that’s all.
This reminds me of something that I saw on Youtube recently. It was a thing about Willie Nelson and his guitar “Trigger”
He was talking about his moving back to Texas because his career in Nashville was stagnant back in the late sixties. He said he came home to the house he was renting and saw it was on fire. He said that he ran inside to grab a big bag of weed he had just purchased and just happened to grab the legendary guitar (which wasn’t legendary then) on his way out the door. He said he saw the fire as an omen to get out of Nashville and moved back to Texas after that where his career took off. That guitar became a huge part of his signature sound. Weird how things work out.
It’s Fire-Brewed!
I saw an interview with Willie where he was talking about writing the song Crazy. He wrote 3 songs in route to Nashville and all 3 were hits. They asked him if Crazy reflected his personal life, professional song writing or I think dumb luck.
Willie responded “All three, to give you an idea of where my head was, the original title was I’m Stupid.
LOL, has nothing to do with the fire, but great story.
.
This is why I never even think of calling the fire dept.
The time you would waste calling the fire dept would best be spent putting the fire out.

Fire brewed means junk beer.
Good beer is all “cold filtered.”
.
If my home were on fire and everyone else was safe I’d absolutely try to rescue my best sourdough starter!
So I can understand a brewer rescuing his particular brew.
.
Willie is a human random number generator!
