Six layed off as fire engines used to lure women

Nineteen firefighters in Sacramento, California have been disciplined for using city fire engines to meet women, including at a local event in which people dressed as porn stars, an official said today.

Six firefighters have been fired and 13 others have been suspended or reprimanded following the largest internal probe ever by the Sacramento Fire Department, said Captain Niko King, the department's spokesman.

The misconduct investigation began in early July after reports of firefighters using city vehicles to cruise bars in the often sleepy state capital.

Later six firefighters were caught taking three city vehicles to a "Porn Star Costume Ball".

A woman at the event accused one of the firefighters of sexual assault aboard a fire engine.

Prosecutors dropped the charges after determining the sexual encounter was consensual, King said.

"It's an inappropriate use of city equipment, obviously," King said.

“Layed” might get some attention, with “inappropriate use of city equipment.”

said Captain Niko King

Is that his real name? It sounds like the porn start name game where you take your cat's name plus the street you were born on.

Would you settle for a ladder in the extended and upright position?

Never happened on my department (Volunteer). The best related incident was when a attractive women motorist stopped and asked for local directions. An office offered to lead her to her destination by having her follow him in one of the trucks. He was so distracted that he failed to disconnect the electrical land line and ended up dragging 40 feet of extension cord behind him while trying to impress the lost women. He never lived it down.

Can someone post the picture from the movie Roxanne where the truck with the raised ladder is backed into a fire house?

I used to be a ladder company in my local FD. My mom didn't like the idea of me hanging out with big smelly guys who most certainly DID use whatever possible to get laid.
