Putting Out Old Flames

Six Sacramento, California, firefighters have been fired and 13 others suspended or otherwise disciplined for using official vehicles to cruise for women. Several of them were caught taking fire engines to a "Porn Star Costume Ball." A woman at the event accused one firefighter of sexual assault aboard one engine. Prosecutors determined the encounter was consensual, but it was still a misuse of the engine, city officials said.
