2 Montgomery County firefighters charged for flooding baseball field

Two Montgomery County firefighters have been charged with malicious destruction of property and disorderly conduct after one of them admitted deliberately flooding a baseball field July 17.

Thousands of gallons of water from an engine at the station was deliberately sprayed onto the field, and a video showing a towering stream of water saturating the field went viral.

One of the firefighters told police he was frustrated with baseballs leaving the field and damaging property at the adjacent fire station.

According to a charging document filed in the case, Montgomery County Fire Captain Christopher Reilly told two players who went to the station to complain, “I wanted to get your attention.”..
