In today's Bill Torpy at Large, our columnist finds solid gold: first, someone at an Atlanta firehouse arranges for women to pose for lewd photos at the station; then, firefighters from the same station perform an act of heroism in rescuing kids from a burning house.

Find out what the problem is and see whether Torpy gets to talk with the heroic men who saved three kids.
