[ The Kingman Auto Recycling (KAR) fire ]

"Eder's leadership has also put members of the Kingman Fire Department at risk."

"When Eder found out his engine was at a fire that Kingman was working, he drove to the scene and ordered his engine and personnel off the fire.  The water supply was abruptly shut off to the ladder truck while firefighters were up over the fire attempting to put it out."

"Let us repeat this - Chief Eder ordered his men to abandon a large, working fire and turn off the water supply to Kingman firefighters on a ladder directly over the flames."
