MARANG: The Fire and Rescue Department is conducting an internal investigation into an auxiliary firefighter allegedly linked to a pornographic video that recently went viral on social media.

"The Integrity Unit has been instructed to form an investigation team to identify the source of the video's circulation and verify the true identity of the individual involved.
