WASHINGTON - A brawl involving several D.C. firefighters is now under investigation.
In the meantime, D.C. Fire and EMS has placed six members of its department on administrative leave.
FOX 5 obtained video of the fight, which was shared on social media on Wednesday.
It appears to show several D.C. firefighters throwing punches on a sidewalk as the lights from their firetrucks can be seen flashing in the background.
D.C. Fire confirmed the incident happened Tuesday night at the scene of a response. D.C. police told FOX 5 it happened in the unit block of Florida Avenue NW.
The firefighters union says they have seen the video, but they haven't received any other information.
In a statement D.C. Fire and EMS said, "The actions depicted in a video of the incident are completely unacceptable and do not reflect the behavior we require of our members."
