 Paradise police say they will pursue criminal charges against a Camp Fire cleanup worker who posted photos of himself in destroyed properties that some are calling disrespectful. The man, identified by police as Rob Freestone, worked on cleanup efforts as a third-party contractor for Pacific Gas and Electric Co., a spokesman for the utility company said. One photo showed the body of a burned cat with a beer bottle placed near its mouth with the caption, “Dude… I was just chilling with my homies, having a couple of cold ones, and BAM… damn fire breaks out.” 
 
 “This is unacceptable and reprehensible behavior,” the Town of Paradise wrote on its Facebook page, adding that the Paradise Police Department was looking into criminal charges. A spokesman for PG&E, Paul Doherty, said Freestone has been removed from Camp Fire cleanup. An earlier post by the company said it regretted the “insensitive and reprehensible” actions of an employee named Rob Freestone. Construction company Bigge Crane and Rigging issued a statement Saturday saying it had identified three people who participated in “this abhorrent event” and that their employment had been terminated. The company said in its statement that it “expects its employees and contractors to work with the utmost integrity and professionalism.” 
 
 “Bigge regrets that the residents of Paradise and Butte County have suffered an egregious insult” during an already devastating time, the company added.
– Three wildfire cleanup workers in California have been fired for clowning around in the ruins of people's homes and posting what the town of Paradise calls "reprehensible" photos on social media. One photo shows the burned remains of a pet cat with a bottle near its mouth and the caption: "Dude… I was just chilling with my homies, having a couple of cold ones, and BAM… damn fire breaks out," NBC News reports. Another shows a worker jumping on burned trampoline, with the caption: "Trampolines are stupid. (By the way), it used to be called a Jumpoline until your mom got on it." The town recently began allowing residents to return after the devastating Camp Fire, which killed at least 88 people. The town of Paradise shared the photos in a Facebook post and promised that Rob Freestone, the worker seen in many of them "will no longer be working in our town." Bigge Crane and Rigging Co., which had been subcontracted by the PG&E utility for Camp Fire cleanup, says Freestone and two other workers have been fired. In a statement, the company said it regrets that residents have suffered an "egregious insult" at an already difficult time. Paradise police spokesman Matt Gates says the department is looking into filing charges, the Redding Record Searchlight reports. "It's shocking. It’s disheartening," Gates says. "It’s the type of thing no one needs to see right before they come into town." (A dog guarded the ruins of a Paradise home for weeks.)
