Six DC Fire and EMS Members on Leave After Fight Caught on Camera



According to a report from NBC4, six members of DC Fire and EMS were placed on leave after being filmed fighting while responding to an emergency call Tuesday night.

The video, which was posted to social media, shows the members brawling while in uniform.

DC Fire and EMS released a statement saying that the actions depicted in the video “are completely unacceptable and do not reflect the behavior we require of our members.”

The six members are now on administrative leave while under a joint investigation with D.C. police.

It is still unclear what caused the brawl or whether anyone was injured or will face charges.
