Two high-ranking investigators in the D.C. fire department have been transferred out of their unit after the disappearance of tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of confiscated fireworks, The Examiner has learned.

Veteran firefighters Lt. Craig Duck and Sgt. Aaron Hazel were moved to other jobs within the fire department late last year when the D.C. inspector general began to look into how a large truckload of fireworks and about $5,000 in cash vanished from an evidence lockup.
