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 the firehouse sex - with a woman who was his girlfriend at the time - is facing either a lengthy suspension or termination, City Hall sources said. 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 incident was going on.
“The Chicago Fire Department does not tolerate any conduct unbecoming on its long tradition of valor and professionalism,” Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford said in an emailed statement.
