Busted!: Citizen 'Reporter' Solves Case Of Man Who Set His Home On Fire on Facebook LIVE! (Video)

OMG, we love this woman! She’s not only hilarious, she’s smart and brave.

When Rhoda Young of Norfolk, VA., happened upon a house fire in a quiet neighborhood, she noticed there were no reporters on the scene—so she leapt into action! (That is, once she figured out how to use the camera on her phone, LOL.)

“I’m a volunteer,” said the citizen reporter, after her friend parked and she got out of the car and on-scene. “Rhoda Young, live on the scene!”

On the video, she notes that a fire truck has just pulled up, adding “We on the scene of this b*tch!”

She gets some footage of the house, with flames shooting from its roof. “The house fire is on full active duty right now,” Rhoda reports.

She sees firefighters rushing onto the distressed property and yells to them, “Spray that house down with some water!”

Then Rhoda sees the flames have spread, and it’s now two houses on fire.

Since the firefighters are doing their thing, Rhoda turns her attention to the neighbors and onlookers. She zeroes in on one man, who is sitting on a lawn across the street, clutching a six pack of beer. She quickly discovers he’s the homeowner of the first house to catch fire.

“How’d the fire start?” she asks.

“I don’t know,” he replies.

Rhoda faces the camera and says, “He was coming home from the store with a six pack of red, white, and blue ribbon beer…”

The man interrupts to correct her: “PBR.”

Rhoda then sees portions of the house falling into flaming ruins. “Ooooh!” she shouts. “Sh*t! F*ck!”

She sees some people wandering around, and yells out orders to no one in particular: “I need to get this street blocked off!”

Then she comes back on-camera: “The house fire is on full active duty. The house is fully engorged!”

The firefighters who were inside the home trying to drench the flames all file out—it’s just too dangerous.

While all this chaos is going on, Rhoda’s been thinking. She’s put two-and-two together, and realized who set the house on fire.

She turns to the homeowner and states, “Oh! Your hair burnt!” Hmm… so if he was inside the house when the fire started, maybe he started it. The man tries to bat her away. “Don’t you hit me,” she warns. “Cuz, I’ll fight back!”

Rhoda gathers some more facts, then gives us the scoop: “During my investigation, I have discovered his muther-f*cking hair was on fire. And his pants is burnt off his damn legs! He was right there when the fire started. He got a g*ddamn six pack of PBR. Now I gotta figure out how he started that damn fire!”

Rhoda approaches the Fire Marshal on scene, and tells him what she knows.

Cut to: The man being arrested, and Rhoda catching it all on camera!

Rhoda then says, “Everybody is really mad at me. I don’t know why.” Then she wonders if anyone will thank her for cracking the case.

During her wrap-up, Rhoda says, “He was allegedly arrested for allegedly starting the fire!”

Get it, Rhoda!

Hey, there are a few vacated spots on the nightly news… why not give Rhoda a job as a roving reporter? We’d tune in!
