I encourage everyone to watch this video. I think that it was very weird that the Muncie Fire Department (MFD) acted the way they did. I know one thing that my department does is try to get into the public's eye, and show them what we do. I have no clue why the did not want to have a documentary made about the department, but I do have one idea. Last year, Firefighter Scott Davis passed away in a fire on the South East side of the city. Maybe the rejected the documentary because of this incident, and they do not feel like discussing what or maybe they can't because the NIOSH report has not been released. I have seen the media coverage of that fire when they located the body, it was a very tragic event for the MFD and the community. This would be my only idea for why the declined the documentary, but if it wasn't I have no idea why they did and it seems like a ridiculous decison. My department suffered a lost when two firefighters passed away after a horrific emergency vehicle accident and that has not stopped us from getting out in the community and getting our image out there. Maybe they just do not like the Ball State students?
