Excerpts from the ChicagoSunTimes.com:

A veteran Chicago firefighter has been fired for brazenly and repeatedly having sex with a woman at a South Side firehouse while colleagues allegedly looked the other way.

The first of several shoes to drop in the Chicago Fire Department’s latest sex scandal targeted a firefighter assigned to Truck 24 on the far south side.

City hall refused to identify the firefighter, but said his former girlfriend not only filed the complaint with the Fire Department’s Bureau of Internal Affairs that triggered the investigation, but provided all of the supporting documents needed to nail the accused firefighter.

Sources said the woman provided text messages, emails and phone records that proved she was where she said she was and so was the firefighter. Armed with the evidence, internal affairs concluded that the firehouse was used repeatedly over a long period of time.

Two dozen firefighters were interviewed over the course of an investigation that dragged on for months. Sources said the now-fired firefighter filed a rebuttal to the charges that was rejected by the fire department.

Firehouse sex is strictly off-limits. In addition, no visitors are allowed in Chicago firehouses after 10 p.m.

Excerpts from the ChicagoSunTimes.com:

As many as a dozen Chicago firefighters are facing disciplinary action for allegedly looking the other way while a colleague had sex with a woman at a South Side firehouse.

The firefighter accused of engaging in sex — with a woman who was his girlfriend at the time — is facing either a lengthy suspension or termination.

The other firefighters, some of whom have already retired, stand accused of varying degrees of not paying attention or looking the other way, sources said. They either knew or should have known that the hanky-panky was going on.

“Following the allegations of improper activity in a firehouse, an internal investigation was immediately opened. The investigation was completed on January 17, following the complete review of all evidence and nearly two dozen interviews, and the accused has been served charges. CFD Labor Division is finalizing the charges and will be issuing findings soon.”

To verify the woman’s claims, Internal Affairs interviewed nearly two dozen firefighters, and went through telephone and text messages provided by the woman. Firehouse sex is strictly off-limits. In addition, no visitors are allowed in Chicago firehouses after 10 p.m.
