THREE NASHVILLE, TENNESSE, FIREFIGHTERS ARE FACING DISCIPLINARY CHARGES following an incident on February 2.

Shortly after midnight,  FF’s Brantley and Carpenter, stationed at the Second Street South fire station, were driving around in the station’s Chevrolet Tahoe “fast car” when they met two women outside a downtown nightclub.

After agreeing to take the women for a ride in the truck, they offered to take them by the station for a “tour.”

The Nashville Tennessean reports further:

Lisa Huffman … called Mayor Karl Dean’s office and later the Fire Department to say she and a friend got on the fire truck and rode to the station on Feb. 2, some time after midnight, after talking with a few firefighters outside the Graham Central Station nightclub.

While there, Huffman told city officials that they were taken into a bedroom and offered beer. She reported feeling “trapped” when a firefighter stood in the doorway of the room while she was inside, according to a report by Metro’s Human Resources Department.

Huffman also said pornography was playing on the station’s television.

After a police investigation found that no laws were violated, the two firefighters will be disciplined internally and eventually transferred to other stations.  The shift supervisor, Capt. Michael Crum, who has been with the department for 24 years, is on administrative leave with pay pending a hearing, according to Nashville Fire Department spokeswoman Kim Lawson.

According to news sources, it is believed that the fire engine was also used to transport two additional women to the station at the same time.
