Firefighter Sex Scandal May End in Firing of Three

Allegations that four on-duty Sacramento firefighters had group sex in a firehouse continue to rock the department, with the city announcing the resignation of one firefighter and an investigation into three others.

Liz Brenner, a city spokeswoman, said the city sent “letters of intent to terminate” Monday to three firefighters, meaning that the city had launched an investigation into the incident at Fire Station 12.

The three male firefighters have been placed on paid administrative leave pending the investigation’s final report, she said. The sole female alleged to have participated in the incident resigned Monday.

Although city officials will not release the names of the four firefighters until the investigation is completed, Brenner did acknowledge that one person under investigation is a fire captain.
