Leaders of Detroit's Local 344 of the International Association of Firefighters say an on-duty member's drunk-driving crash last Sunday doesn't signal a wider alcohol problem.
But a few insiders claim otherwise in don't-use-my-name interviews with Shawn Ley of WDIV.
"We need a change as a department. Our guys are routinely drunk on calls," said one Detroit firefighter.
Another confirmed firefighter said not all fire crews are bad, "but they have a lot who party at work."
Chief Robert Shinske is heading up the investigation into the firefighter driving drunk, but members of his own department point out that Shinske was suspended from the department in 2017 after being caught on camera parking a Detroit fire vehicle outside a bar in Dearborn.
