Another Miramar firefighter was suspended late Monday in connection with a drug investigation that has already resulted in seven other suspensions and two arrests.
Miramar Fire-Rescue Chief James Hunt said Tuesday that no more suspensions are expected.
The department was stunned when Lt. Carey Kovacs, who has been with the department for six years, and Capt. Valentin Srbovan, a 15-year veteran, were arrested on drug charges by the Drug Enforcement Administration.
Both have been suspended with pay.
Kovacs, according to an arrest report, admitted to selling Ecstasy to seven other firefighters and said that he took the drug with his colleagues at raves at his home.
He was charged with possession with intent to sell MDMA, also known as Ecstasy, and possession of cocaine, steroids and two controlled drugs without a prescription.
Srbovan was charged with possession of MDMA after agents found 20 tablets of Ecstasy hidden in his bedroom in Miramar.
The department suspended six additional firefighters who were named in the investigation on Monday, Hunt said. Their names have not been released publicly because of the ongoing criminal investigation.
Jeannette Moran, a DEA spokeswoman, said Tuesday there have been no new arrests.
