Many many moons ago when I was working for NZNAC at NZWN we had a spate of bomb scares. After a lot of investigation and the next one came in from an external line in the crash fire section. Turns out that the caller was a bit short that week so he wanted call out pay!
Said offender was quietly fired and he went to work for a rural fire station in Hastings, NZ. There then occurred a spate of fires. The investigations quickly centered on the ex CAA fireman who confessed fairly quickly. Turned out that he was bored and wanted some fires to fight
