Cocaine Found in Florida Firehouse
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Authorities in St. Petersburg are conducting criminal investigations into the city's firefighters after cocaine was found in a washing machine at a station.
The St. Petersburg Police Department launched the investigations Thursday. Narcotics detectives are investigating possible arrests and criminal charges, and the police's internal affairs unit began a separate probe to determine if fire department and city policies were broken.
The cocaine powder was found Sept. 18 in a small plastic bag at the fire station. Authorities say several firefighters were doing laundry at the time.
The station will continue to operate during the investigation. Officials have not released any other details.

Not only is that a black eye for the dept., but a safety hazard as well. Cocaine, even compared to other drugs, is NOT something you want in your system when you're running a fire call or some other very strenuous activity. Not that you should be doing any drugs, just sayin....
