When Jack went in to save the innocent, he saw one of the young firefighters, Chad, laying on a gun. It was suicide, not murder. When Jack looked up, he saw Ben, one of the nicest firefighters he knew. He had started all the arson fires, not Chad. Jack was so confused. Why would he do such a thing?
