I shouldn’t be laughing.

A group of Utah firefighters have found themselves in hot water after a picture of them setting up a BBQ in front of a burned down house went viral on June 24th. The firemen had set up a Traeger smoker and a few camping chairs and were having a cookout in front of a burnt-down trailer that took the life of one man.
The niece of the man who died in the fire told ETV News that, “When one thinks of a group of individuals having a BBQ, it usually is in a celebratory fashion. Imagine if the deceased occupant was your family member and when you show up to the scene you see the fire department enjoying a BBQ.”

A representative for the Cedar City Fire Department said the firemen in the picture had been at the home for “several hours” and that they “needed to be fed.”
They couldn’t have ordered DoorDash instead?
