D.C. Firefighter Accused of Exposing Himself

Aug. 6, 2007
The alleged incident happened at the quarters of Engine 8.

A DC Fire & EMS sergeant resigned over the weekend, a week after being accused of exposing himself to a female, civilian EMS worker. In a press release issued by the department, Chief Dennis Rubin said he immediately accepted the resignation.

According to sources familiar with the case, but unable to speak officially for the department, the male sergeant was assigned as a battalion chief's aide. The incident occurred during the overnight hours of July 30th while the sergeant was off-duty and the EMS worker was on-duty at the quarters of Engine 8 in the 1500 block of C Street, Southeast. The EMS worker complained that the sergeant exposed himself in a lounge area of the firehouse.

Chief Rubin said last Thursday that he immediately placed the sergeant on administrative leave upon learning of the allegations. The Metropolitan Police Department was also alerted to the incident and its investigation is continuing.
