Misuse of Department Property

You are an elected official in a small community that has a combination fire department. You recently became aware of an issue where the fire chief approved a piece of fire apparatus being used for wedding pictures at the wedding venue 30 miles from your community. On the way back to the station, the apparatus broke down and had to be towed. The fire chief’s son was the person getting married and he is a department member as well. What are the ethical issues involved in this scenario? What would be your course of action? What political issues might this issue cause?
