Do These Look Like the Faces of Firefighters Who Shot a Porn in the Station House?
Source - Akron officials have named the two veteran firefighters accused of making pornographic videos at a city firehouse.
Deann Eller and Arthur Dean were both placed on paid administrative leave Monday while officials conduct an investigation, Akron city officials said.
Akron city spokeswoman Ellen Nischt said another firefighter told a supervisor about the incident.
Officials released photos and the personnel files of both Eller and Dean following a Monday afternoon press conference. Eller, 42, was recently promoted to lieutenant, and Dean, 49, both joined the Akron Fire Department in 2000.
A joint statement from Mayor Dan Horrigan and Fire Chief Clarence Tucker said the firefighters were not assigned to work at the same firehouse and were in a long-term relationship.
“As leaders of this City and this Department, we find these allegations shocking and distressing to say the least,” the statement said. … “These allegations bring unwelcome dishonor and embarrassment to Akron Fire Department and the City of Akron.”
This has to be one of the most reprehensibly selfish, egocentric acts I’ve heard of in a long, long time. I mean, who is this firefighter that dropped a dime on Deann Eller and Arthur Dean? What kind of a self-absorbed asshole do you have to be to get your co-workers in trouble just because you stumbled over their workplace porn?
Sure, the people of Akron need their firefighters to be brave, capable, vigilant and always at the ready to save them at a moment’s notice. They also need them to be something else equally important. They need them to be sexy. Hot Firefighter is one of our culture’s most popular archetype. It has inspired a million calendars, works of fiction like Backdraft, stripper costumes and, I’m sure, lots and lots of porn. So who is this member of the Akron FD to deny those tens of millions of his fellow citizens typing “fireman old bald amateur” into their Pornhub search bar their moment of pleasure? There are digital mountain ranges of fetish porn out there, so I’m sure there’s someone with a predilection toward watching thumb-headed 49-year-olds banging 42-year-olds who look like Nicholas Cage in a firestation. And as long as they are consenting adults and not ignoring some fire alarm to do it, who are we to stop them and their audience? So put Deann and Arthur back on the job and let them get back to the business of giving the citizens of Akron what they need and their public what it demands.
