ICYMI: Escort Service Uses Atlanta Firehouse for Pictures

An Atlanta Fire Rescue Department lieutenant is in the hot seat after investigators say he allowed escorts to use the fire house he was commanding as a location for a photo shoot to advertise their services on the Internet.

The lieutenant, who is not being named, was the most senior department member on duty at the time of the incident at Atlanta Fire Station 2, which is why he is bearing the brunt of the discipline meted out by superiors. He is on administrative leave until an investigation is complete, WSB-TV says.

Some of the photos used by the escorts show them wearing firefighter’s equipment, in a firefighter’s locker, and seductively leaned up against a fire truck while wearing a firefighter’s helmet. And those are just the photos tame enough to be shown to the public.

The Atlanta Fire Rescue Department tells WSB-TV the investigation into the matter should be closed within the next two weeks.

Patch has reached out to the department for additional information and will update this article when it becomes available.
