 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. 
 
 Freestone appears to have posted several inflammatory images on his Facebook page while working in the Camp Fire area. 
 
 One post showed cleanup workers posing for a photo in a burned out RV. One showed a dead cat with a bottle up to its mouth. Another showed him jumping on a burned-out trampoline with the caption: "Trampolines are stupid. (By the way), it used to be called a Jumpoline until your mom got on it." 
 
 Screenshots of the posts were published on the Town of Paradise Facebook page Friday night. Paradise police public information officer Matt Gates said his department learned of the situation early Saturday morning after seeing posts on social media. 
 
 Gates said police have yet to interview Freestone, as that usually takes place after a preliminary investigation. And although Freestone has not been charged with a crime, Gates said police will pursue whatever criminal charges apply to his actions.

 One possibility, Gates said, includes Freestone being charged for being in an evacuated area. Normally, those rules have exceptions for authorized cleanup workers. But since Freestone was operating outside of his responsibility of a cleanup worker when taking the photos, Gates said those rules might not protect Freestone. 
 
 "It's shocking. It’s disheartening," Gates said Saturday, when the last set of evacuations was lifted for homeowners. "It’s the type of thing no one needs to see right before they come into town." 
 
 A spokesman for PG&E, Paul Doherty, said Freestone has been removed from Camp Fire cleanup. 
 
 "We learned of his reprehensible and unfortunate actions today," Doherty said. "Immediate action was taken, and this individual is no longer working with the Camp Fire response." 
 
 Freestone was fired from his job at Bigge Crane and Rigging Co. of San Leandro, according to spokesperson Jerry Tanaka. The company sent out a press release Saturday stating three employees involved in the incident had been terminated. 
 
 The press release reads: 
 
 We have identified three participants in this abhorrent event and their employment has been terminated. Bigge expects its employees and contractors to work with the utmost integrity and professionalism. The behavior of these individuals is not consistent with our company values and ethical code. Bigge regrets that the residents of Paradise and Butte County have suffered an egregious insult during an already devasting time at the hands of these three individuals. Bigge supports and appreciates all our surrounding communities.

 Three employees of a construction company helping to clear the wreckage of the deadliest wildfire in California history were fired after posting insensitive photos from properties destroyed by the blaze. 
 
 Photos posted Saturday to the Facebook page of the Town of Paradise, which was destroyed by the deadly Camp Fire that killed 88 people, showed workers posing with damaged property. 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. 
 
 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. 
 
 An earlier post by the company said it regretted the “insensitive and reprehensible” actions of an employee named Rob Freestone. Bigge said Freestone had been removed from the Camp Fire recovery effort. 
 
 Pacific Gas and Electric Co., which subcontracted Bigge, did not immediately respond to request for comment. 
 
 Earlier this month, a civil complaint accused the electric company of failing to properly maintain a tower near the town of Pulga in Butte County, which allowed a live wire to come loose on the morning of Nov. 8 and touch off the devastating Camp Fire.
– 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.)
