Thursday July 15 5:31 PM ET Ex-firemen Charged in Deadly Arson CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) - Seven current or former firefighters tried to impress their chief by setting fire to a house and then putting out the blaze, but one got trapped inside and was killed, investigators said. The six other men were arrested Thursday on charges of conspiracy, arson and burglary and could get up to 87 years in prison. The man who died, Daniel Neil Hixson, was a former firefighter. Hixson had left the department when he moved out of the area, then came back last month, hoping to return to duty. His six colleagues apparently thought that if the chief saw him fighting a fire, it would help win back his job, Sheriff John Cupp said. Hixson, 26, poured gasoline inside the home June 26, then became trapped by smoke and flames and died, Cupp said. The owner of the house was not home. The back of the house was heavily damaged. _________________________________________________________________
