Only In Stupid Detroit

From Firehouse.com:  In the motor city these days, there’s no shortage of blankets.
That’s because people from all over the world are sending them to protest the disciplinary actions facing a Detroit medic who gave a fire victim a blanket after he was forced out into the cold.
The said blanket -- donated by an organization, Firefighter Support Services – was considered city property. And, Paramedic Jeff Gaglio didn’t have permission to give it away, The Detroit News reported.
Since the story went viral, people have been sending blankets to city hall, the fire department and EMS officials. There was even a blanket event in a city park last week.
"We are getting sent blankets from all over the country, even from overseas," said Detroit EMS medic Robert Shelton. "It is amazing what is going on here."
Several Facebook pages about blanket scape have been created, and many people are voicing their support for the medic.http://www.firehouse.com/news/10815178/detroit-blanketed-after-paramedic-disciplined
No wonder Detroit is going broke- they have stupid administrators who threaten to reprimand a medic for giving out a blanket to a guy who lost his home due to a fire because the blanket was considered government property
Why not charge the building owner that the fire was in for the water that was used in fighting the fire?  That's probably considered public property by some egg head in government.
Thank goodness there are enough people in and around Detroit, the country and world, that are donating to the fire department, blankets that can be given away for people who are out in the cold as their house is burning down.
