Iowa Fire Chief Responds to Call Allegedly Drunk
CARLISLE, Iowa - According to a police report, Carlisle Fire Chief Scott Burger appeared to be drunk when he responded last week to a 911 call from a man whose wife was going into diabetic shock.
According to the report, a Carlisle police officer who confronted Burger after the incident said Burger admitted to violating department policy by drinking two beers while on duty.
It also says a breath sample indicated that Burger's blood alcohol was almost twice the legal limit.
Officers who were at the scene said Burger did not seem to be helping the woman effectively.
Burger, who has been placed on administrative leave, has not commented on the incident.

We've both done the deed with less than clear eyes before.
Oh really? I prescribe to the 8 hours between the bottle and the nozzle.
If my FD does a recall, and I have had a beer.... I won't go.
My career and my pension is important to me... as well as the LODD payourt should I have an unfortunate demise.

Clearly what has happened here is this guy probably just ate something with Garlic in it and used mouthwash to get rid of his garlic breath in case of a call and the alcohol content made it smell and look as if he had alcohol in his system according to what I was told by other guys in other threads because a city guy would not treat his job as a social club instead of as a fire department and would not think of doing this.Just speaking from what I have been told!!!
