Salt Lake City, UT -- A well-known firefighter is accused of soliciting sex with a minor over the internet.

Dennis Steadman has been a Salt Lake County fireman for 30 years, and is currently a battalion chief with the Unified Fire Authority.

The attorney general's office tells us officers with the Internet Crimes Against Children task force posed as 13 year olds and had several online encounters with Steadman.

They arrested him this afternoon when he thought he was meeting one of the youngsters.
