Porn Investigation Launched At Florida Fire Department

Firefighters are under investigation for allegedly looking up porn while at work.

Some members of the Longwood Fire Department are under investigation Friday for allegedly looking up porn while at work.

A few weeks ago, officials said an employee complained after seeing the images on the computer at one of the two city fire stations, WESH 2 News reported.

The investigation was turned over to the police department, and the chief confirmed the complaint indicated pornography. The firefighters are not being allowed to comment, but Longwood Mayor Butch Bundy said he was disappointed.

"I was disappointed, I guess. Once I got over being upset a little bit, nobody wants anything of this nature to impact their city ... I think this type of behavior is unacceptable," Bundy said.

Police said the investigation should take three weeks. If anyone is found guilty of violating policy, they'll face suspension, probation or termination. Police will also look into whether any laws were broken.
