The Rich Merchant's Incentive to Extinguish the Fire

Rich merchant Oliver Hall told the fire volunteers, he donated $100 to the fireman's fund if they would extinguish that blaze. "We've got to incentivize people to put the fire out," says Mayor Rahm Emanuel. Some rich asshole being like, all right, everybody, if you want to split $3,500 amongst you or just put it in the kitty,. It's got your name on it. I'll even give you a big novelty check as long as let's, come on, the river's frozen as long as lets unfreeze it.
