Former Firefighter Accused of Arson and Theft | Detroit News
Description
A former Detroit firefighter, Eric Anderson, 52, is facing serious charges tied to a string of arson and thefts between July 10 and August 4 — including stealing appliances and puppies then torching homes, and breaking into a firehouse while firefighters battled a blaze. Though he resigned in June last year, prosecutors say his actions endangered public safety. Fire Commissioner Charles Simms called the allegations “disturbing,” stressing accountability regardless of past service. Anderson was arrested Friday as investigators close in — adding to a troubling pattern of misconduct among Detroit firefighters.
