2 D.C. Fire employees charged with thousands of dollars in city gas thefts

WASHINGTON (WJLA) -- There is a massive pot of taxpayer dollars that federal agents are doing their best to protect.

And two D.C. Fire and EMS employees face a felony fraud charge for allegedly dipping into that pot.

The federal government’s fleet of vehicles numbers around 200,000. The cars need fuel, a lot of fuel. In fact, the Government Services Administration says last year those cars used $514 million in gas.

The GSA leases 41 of those vehicles to DCFEMS.
