Firefighters Lose Jobs Due to Internet Incident

Six Milwaukee firefighters were fired (from Firehouse.com).

Six Milwaukee firefighters were fired Friday for their alleged roles in an incident in which a firefighter, while on duty, performed a lewd act in front of a computer camera while colleagues at a different firehouse watched.

Read the whole story for the details on the incident.

These firefighters have the opportunity to appeal their firing, however, I don't think they'll get their jobs back. People have lost their jobs over a lot less.

This just shows that you better keep it clean while on the internet at the fire hall, even if you are using your personal computer - which was the case with one of the computers in the Milwaukee incident.
