Firefighters Won't Face Charges for Alleged Porn Shoot

A Hollywood firetruck was allegedly used to make a pornographic movie, but local firefighters won't face legal action because of a law loophole.

Los Angeles firefighters who allegedly allowed fire engines to be used in two porn films won't face any discipline, thanks to a loophole in the City Charter, according to the department's chief.

The charter prevents the Fire Department from disciplining any employee for actions that are more than two years old, Chief Brian Cummings said in a letter to Councilman Dennis Zine, according to the Los Angeles Times. The chief said both incidents occurred on or before 2008.

One incident involved Engine 263, which is stationed at Firehouse 63 in Venice. The other shoot reportedly occurred in Hollywood, involving a truck from Station 41 at 1439 N Gardner Street.
