Christine Vendel of the KANSAS CITY (MO) STAR reports on a police blotter item from Wednesday morning on Red Bridge Road east of Holmes at Fire Station 28.
It seems a firefighter- apparently a fire apparatus operator (FAO)- came to work his 24 hour shift that morning and found a fire apparatus low on fuel.
Seems that was the straw that broke the "47-year-old" male- as he reportedly first went-off on another firefighter going off-duty- nearly got into blows- left- then returned with a gun.
The POed FAO threatened and waved the gun around and "towards" the 4 others in the kitchen/watchroom- and in a short time left without firing a shot.
Ms. Vendel says fire union members went to the man's house afterwards- and "escorted him to a psychiatric hospital."
It was also reported that none of the threatened/assaulted firefighters pressed charges against the 47-year-old firefighter.

Bet we could swap some stories Superdave...
One of these days- you- Xavier Onassis and myself will have to get together and tell a few 'tall tales!'
Oh my Lord I doubt the world would be able to handle the out come of that adventure.
Reminds me of the night Med Act guy and I at like 3 in the morning in a pissing fight over who's phone is ringing.
Wasn't their station phone was mine and was a lady calling to say her house was on fire and I thought someone was jacking with me.
Oh mercy yes weird things happen in a firehouse or at fires.
