Springfield firefighter Brian C. Wilkerson was arrested at around 8:25 Wednesday morning at the Headquarters Fire Station at 605 Worthington St., on child pornography charges.
Federal authorities had contacted the department recently to inform them that Wilkerson was the subject of an investigation.
The department was not aware of the specific charges against Wilkerson at the time of his arrest but as a result of his arrest, he had been suspended without pay, according to Springfield Fire Department spokesman Dennis Leger.
In conjunction with the City Law Department and Civil Service Law, the Springfield Fire Department will be contemplating further disciplinary action as this case moves forward, according to Leger.
