The indictment of one local firefighter has sparked a probe into whether other firefighters profited from fundraising for the Firefighters of Southern Nevada Burn Foundation, a nonprofit charity to help fire victims.

Another: Certain firefighters were being paid quarterly bonuses of about $1,000 from the foundation."
