Stackpole was the only one of the group who held those beliefs, Bemis said he was. Stackpole was found guilty in federal court on November 30, 1984, on 17 of the 19 counts against him and was sentenced to 40 years in federal prison. Earlier that day, he pleaded guilty to six state counts of arson and was sentenced to a term of between 19 and 20 years in

Federal agents also arrested an arsonist that they believed was responsible for several fires, charging him with arson in a minor apartment fire.

he was interviewed by two ATF agents. Groblewski decided to cooperate with the investigation, with one of the agents later stating that
Groblewski "poured out information so fast we couldn't write it down" Groblewski would later say "We all sat around one day and agreed that if anyone got caught, we wouldn't talk...Look at me. Now I'm the rat."
284:
Then Boston Fire
Commissioner Leo Stapleton called into question the group's motives, stating that "We had 257 men laid off. None of them set a fire. None of them considered doing that." Stapleton also stated that many of the fires occurred after the state legislature had voted in June 1982 to pass a

Norton's trial was scheduled for
January 14, 1985. On March 28, 1985, he was sentenced to six years in a federal prison. On December 17, 1984, Kendall plead guilty to perjury and was sentenced in January 1985. Bemis, Sanden and Gorman plead guilty to arson and conspiracy charges and were sentenced to

At
Stackpole's trial, Bemis said that Stackpole was "the member of the group who was for 2½...In general he didn't like the Boston Police or Fire Department. As a matter of fact, he hated them. He said that they were overpaid and underworked. And his most famous statement was, he'd like to see them

The second major development occurred when it was reported that
Groblewski had modified his car with parts stolen from a vehicle in 1982. As he was a police officer at the time of the theft, he was asked to report to the police headquarters to discuss the matter. When he arrived on January 13, 1984,

By at least the week of July 16, newspapers began using the name "Friday
Firebugs" to identify the suspect(s), with radio reporters using this name since some point prior. At some time prior to that week, the BFD requested assistance from the ATF to maintain a "special arson watch" and to help local

Then fire department spokesperson, Ken

305:
Between 163 and 260 fires were set by the group, causing an estimated total of between $ 20–50 million in damages, the most costly of which was a fire at the Spero Toy Company in South Boston on June 3, 1982, which caused an estimated $ 13.5 million in damages. The fires injured between 270 and 282

In 1982, more than half of the communities in Massachusetts had to reduce property taxes, resulting in a loss of approximately $ 490 million in local tax revenue. Approximately half of that loss was replaced by state revenue sharing. In September 1982, approximately 7,800 positions had been

However, when asked at the trial of Stackpole whether he believed they weren't having any impact, Bemis stated "No, that's not correct. We were, I believe, the sole responsibility that the Tregor Bill did pass." When asked whether he was proud of himself, he stated that he was not.
130:
Two of the fires were spotted by the special arson watch, which were stopped before they could "really get bad." The fires, mostly occurring in vacant buildings, caused approximately $ 80,000 in damages. Up until that point, the fires had occurred in Dorchester, Jamaica Plain,

At a hearing on July 26, 1984, all of the men plead not guilty. Damon later plead guilty to conspiracy to obstruct justice for being involved in a plot to urge Groblewski to flee to Canada so he couldn't implicate the others. He was sentenced on December 14, 1984 to a

When asked during his trial whether he liked the publicity the fires gained, Bemis said "That was our main motive, was publicity." When asked whether he enjoyed the idea of the power the fires held over the city, he said "Yes, we did."

Then chief of the Arson Squad, Paul McCarthy, similarly stated that the fact that the fires were occurring at both occupied and unoccupied buildings in short periods of time indicated that there was more than one perpetrator.

On August 21, four fires occurred, all of which were deemed to be suspicious. Again, these fires broke from the norm, occurring on a Saturday. The fires that occurred that day caused approximately $ 100,000 in damages.
