D.C. fire chief in the know on vehicle giveaway

Fire Chief Dennis Rubin was directly involved in the District’s donation of emergency vehicles to the Dominican Republic, newly released e-mails show, but the chief claimed under oath to know very little days after the deal fell apart.

The donation to the town of Sosua was organized by members of Mayor Adrian Fenty’s inner circle. But numerous other city officials were involved, including Rubin.
