Collingdale firefighters busted for DUI, soliciting sex
A lifetime member of Collingdale Fire Co. No. 2 is busted for allegedly soliciting sex from a guy on MacDade Boulevard - a week after the chief of Collingdale Fire. Co. 1 is arrested for DUI.
Collingdale firefighters busted for DUI, soliciting sex
Collingdale's two fire departments appear to be dueling for bigger headlines this month. And not the kind you get from rescuing children from burning buildings.
Colin Patrick McCann, the chief of Collingdale Fire Co. No. 1, was busted for DUI July 4 after he allegedly activated the emergency lights on his pickup and, according to Glenolden police, claimed that he was "showing my new lights to my family." But McCann, who has a previous DUI arrest, was alone in the pickup, according to the Delco Times. His blood-alcohol content was 0.13, over the legal limit.
Not to be outdone, firefighter Joseph Phillips, a life member of Collingdale Fire Co. No. 2, went out and got himself arrested the following week for allegedly soliciting sex from some dude walking down MacDade Boulevard. Police say Phillips – who was charged this year with masturbating in front of a woman in a Walgreen's parking lot and pleaded guilty to open lewdness and harassment charges – pulled up in his Explorer and started licking his lips, offering money for sex and generally just being an all-around perv.
So it's been that kind of month for Collingdale firefighters, most of whom, I should mention, do not drive drunk and/or fondle themselves in pharmacy parking lots. They got other things to do, like racing to the house that got firebombed this morning.
Comment removed.
at least they weren't commiting arson.— Klambake- The Tonner thinks there are way too many hose and fire jokes for this comment section to stay open very long. So here's one before they close it down: Fellow firefighters report that Phillips was magnificent with a hose and could make it spray at will.
- What a mess...hopefully, Collingdale has 2 less firefighters today. Take away their blue lights and other fireboy playtoys...— kelprod2
- Volunteer fireman always made me feel uneasy. I just find a vast majority of them to be creepy.— Bubba James
Phillips has admitted to always being a little hot in the pants.— Professor Smart E. Pants, PhD.- Looks like McCann wasn't joking when he said he needed to make an emergency beer-run.— Professor Smart E. Pants, PhD.
- Too bad he was spraying it indiscriminately.— PhillySubsMac
- who wrote this ? some dude? got ? a second grader from philly public school system?— apexbutter
- Someone who uses capital letters ... — William Bender
- Bubba Jones; If it's true about this guy, he gives lifetime volunteer firefighters a VERY bad name!! I have multilple family members who are lifetime volunteer firefighters and have dedicated their lives to helping others. Please don't even put them in the same category! That's not fair. God Bless the Volunteer Firefighters!— mtpockets
- mtpockets...sorry, but I have to agree with Bubba on this one. Volunteer firefighters seem really creepy to me, as well. They tend to revolve their entire lives around the firehouse, wear denim shorts & too tight tee shirts...they are always dorky and seem to get their jollies off of playing with their blue lights and pretending they are kinda' like cops. I know I am totally generalizing here...but yeah, they tend to creep me out too.— kelprod2
- Oh dear, I guess if you wake up and smell smoke you better just jump out the window and hide hoping a neighbor will call the fire fighters.
There's just no reason under the sun why you should have to deal with denim shorts and tight tee shirts when other people could do it for you.
Oh, and don't forget to instruct the neighbors to request "no blue lights please". - What a juxtaposition of two headlines:
The Daily Delco: Collingdale firefighters busted for DUI, soliciting sex - 12:50pm
Don’t be alarmed, it’s just a drill.
Or was it a hose? - He had a fire in his pants that needed to be doused.— caught-u-sleepin
