SWAT team rescues, then arrests Pinal meth suspect (http://www.azcentral.com/community/pinal/articles/2010/12/10/20101210Pinal-meth-fire-swat-rescue-abrk.html)
Meth guy runs from SWAT team to his trailer (PC term is "manufactured home"). Starts fire trying to smoke his meth before being arrested. Burns down his own trailer. Rescued from fire by SWAT team. Then arrested. First commenter on the article mentioned banjo music playing in the background.
The insult to injury: Arrested for "Arson of an Occupied structure." Class 2 felony.
All kidding aside, rescuing a guy from a fire in a trailer that is suspected of being a meth lab without fire gear is pretty scary to me. Toxic smoke and flammable liquids. I the hope the arson charge sticks because of the jeopardy it posed to the team. And they didn't mention injuries so I hope everyone was okay.
