An Oakville firefighter is facing a pair of assault charges after a fight with paramedics during a call for service at a local hotel.

Police say the 52-year-old unlawfully engaged Halton EMS staff in a hotel room early Sunday after a request for assistance from Oakville Fire.

“At some point, an altercation took place between a member of the Oakville Fire Department and two Halton EMS staff,” a Halton police spokesperson said in a statement.

No other details were revealed following the investigation but detectives say there was enough information to lay charges.

The firefighter, identified in a release, is awaiting a date for an appearance in Milton court, say police.
