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.

Torpy asks for an interview with the heroes; his request is kicked upstairs to fire administration; then it's kicked upstairs to the mayor's office.

And the mayor's office comes up with a problem.

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