Nineteen firefighters in Sacramento, California have been disciplined for using city fire engines to meet women, including at a local event in which people dressed as porn stars. Six of the firefighters have been fired and 13 others have been suspended or reprimanded following the largest internal probe ever by the Sacramento Fire Department.

The misconduct investigation began in early July after reports of firefighters using city vehicles to cruise bars in the often sleepy state capital. Later six firefighters were caught taking three city vehicles to a "Porn Star Costume Ball." A woman at the event accused one of the firefighters of sexual assault aboard a fire engine. Prosecutors dropped the charges after determining the sexual encounter was consensual even thought it was inappropriate use of city equipment.
