Three Nashville Fire Employees Depart After Misconduct Probe

Three Nashville Fire Department employees left the department after an internal investigation into allegations of on-duty misconduct; a later report said they resigned, while other reports described them as fired. The incident reportedly involved the employees wearing department shirts and carrying radios at a downtown bar, where a bartender said two vodka-Red Bull drinks and water were ordered. The employees told police they were on duty but denied drinking, and the bartender said she did not see anyone consume alcohol. Police classified the case as unfounded, and no arrests were made; the department has declined to provide further details, citing a personnel matter.
