Suspicion of Theft of Diesel in Firefighters
The fire had been smoldering for some time. The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) has been asked to investigate the alleged theft of diesel by a team of firefighters to the Service of fire pumps from Port Louis.

Last week, disturbing elements were added to the file. In fact, a firefighter reported to the Chief Fire Officer abnormal consumption of a tank. March 14, he was instructed to refuel The Rattle Filling Station. Great was his surprise to learn the attendant service that the tank had been fed 69 liters of diesel, after covering 185 km and used the pump for two hours. How to explain this mystery? Recently this tank had consumed 41 liters of diesel after traveling 196 km and used the pump for 2:15. "Sent to your kind consideration and follow up as abnormal consommation There Is year of diesel," reported the firefighter to the CFO. 

Fearing an investigation lightly, and a cover-up of the case, firefighters have chosen to alert the Anti-Corruption Commission. "A departmental inquiry will be limited to this single case. We understand that the theft of diesel would be a common practice by members of this team. Our use of the ICAC aims to initiate a thorough investigation into the use of diesel vehicles in the service since January 2010, "justify these firefighters.
