Fire and EMS spokesman Tim Wilson confirmed that four firefighters have been placed on administrative duties following the alleged incident.

A bar-goer chasing after a pair of sunglasses last night tried to get from the roof of one Adams Morgan bar to another, and ended up provoking a “high angle rescue” by D.C. firefighters.

Until yesterday, I was unaware that the District’s firefighters work eight 24-hour shifts a month, and that 40 percent of them live over 30 miles away from the city. These may seem like disconnected little factoids, but they’re playing into what could well be a nasty battle between firefighters and the District over how much they should work.
