Texas Woman Arrested After Stabbing Firehose While Firefighters Respond To House Fire

A Texas woman has been arrested after stabbing a firehose while firefighters responded to a house fire. That's a terrible decision and could have hurt or killed people!

Thankfully, it sounds like nobody was hurt during the fire. What a diabolical move! You don't even see stuff like that in the movies or on TV. The incident happened at a home in Dallas, Texas around 1am. According to NBC DFW, 37-year-old Jermecia Denise Murphy allegedly took a knife to one of the firehoses to prevent the firefighters from extinguishing the flames.

NBC DFW says witnesses believe Murphy was the one who started the fire as she allegedly admitted to setting it while she was stabbing the firehose. She was placed under arrest and charged with criminal mischief and a first-degree Arson charge will also be added to her charges.

What an awful choice to make. Stabbing the firehose could have resulted in injury or a loss of life. No word on what the motive behind setting the fire was at this time.
