A firefighter in Washington, D.C. stopped with his partner while on duty to pick up some food from Chick-fil-A even after a call came in regarding a woman having chest pains just a mile away away, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Around 4 p.m. on March 24, two firefighter/EMTs decided to stop at a Chick-fil-A in Northeast D.C., rather than immediately responding to a call about a woman suffering chest pains, as Front Page Detectives reported.
Two firefighter/EMTs ordered Chick-fil-A on an app before an emergency call came in.
According to a D.C. Fire and EMS special report obtained by the station, the firefighters claimed they received the emergency call after they had already used an app to place their fast-food order.
The second victim was taken to the hospital and treated for minor injuries, authorities said.
The firefighters said they decided to stop and pick up their food because it would take “literally a few minutes tops,” according to the report.
In the report, one of the firefighters wrote that “there was no delay in patient care or response.”
Neighbors of the suspect called 911 for a welfare check after seeing water come out of his home, officials said.
Citing sources, WRC-TV reported that the firefighters ambulance was assigned to the emergency call due to it's proximity and could get there before a medic unit.
An argument between two neighbors allegedly led to the fatal shooting of one man, police said.
One of the firefighter’s cases went before a trial board, which decided to terminate his employment, WRC-TV reported.

In a statement to the station, a spokesperson for D.C. Fire and EMS only confirmed the firefighter/EMT was “no longer with the department.”
Meanwhile, the second firefighter working that day currently is still employed pending the outcome of her own trial board, officials said.
