Cause he can? Anyone in Louisiana can carry a gun.

They are part of law enforcement. A few years back in Texas someone pulled a gun on a Fire Marshall, and he was dispatched quickly.

Arsonists get mean when you arrest them?

I work with the State Fire Marshals somewhat regularly. I was told it's for arson purposes.

Fire Marshals investigate arson; arsonists are violent criminals.

If you are talking about state supplemental pay that is incorrect. No state employee is allowed to get supplemental pay(fire Marshall, DPS, State trooper, WLF, Exc.). If you are talking about some magical $500 a raise for being an officer that is also incorrect.

Wasn't there an issue a couple of years ago with the Fire Marshall asking for funding to get SWAT style equipment and weapons?

Wouldn't it be easier to use a can of gas and a Zippo?

I knew a baw who burned down his own business for the insurance. He was Billy Cannon's cellmate in club fed.

They might have to shoot a dog. Poodles (actually most little yappy dogs) hate firemen.
