COLUMBUS, Ohio — 10TV has learned of a major development in a months-long firehouse sex scandal involving the Columbus Division of Columbus’s Fire Chief has recommended Firefighter Marc Cain be fired for having sex on the job.

This is the second to final stage of this ugly chapter for the Columbus Division of Fire. In documents obtained by 10tv, Fire Chief Gregory Paxton finds Firefighter Marc Cain guilty of every accusation against him, and recommends terminating him from the Division.

Cain has been under investigation since last spring based on allegations that he carried on an 18 month extramarital affair with a young woman starting when she was 18. The reason this private indiscretion became public was because most of it was alleged to have happened on public property — inside Fire Station 17 on the Hilltop, while Cain was on-duty. He was also accused of giving the woman security access codes to Station 17 so she could sneak in and out freely, and of giving her free reign to ride on Division medics and engines as they responded to emergency calls.
