AKRON, Ohio -- Akron officials have named the two veteran firefighters accused of making pornographic videos at a city firehouse.

Deann Eller and Arthur Dean were both placed on paid administrative leave Monday while officials conduct an investigation, Akron city officials said.

Akron city spokeswoman Ellen Nischt said another firefighter told a supervisor about the incident.

Officials released photos and the personnel files of both Eller and Dean following a Monday afternoon press conference. Eller, 42, was recently promoted to lieutenant, and Dean, 49, both joined the Akron Fire Department in 2000.

A joint statement from Mayor Dan Horrigan and Fire Chief Clarence Tucker said the firefighters were not assigned to work at the same firehouse and were in a long-term relationship.

"As leaders of this City and this Department, we find these allegations shocking and distressing to say the least," the statement said.

Horrigan and Tucker said the investigation is ongoing and that there will be "prompt and appropriate action" after the investigation is finished. Akron police are not investigating the incident as crime.

"These allegations bring unwelcome dishonor and embarrassment to Akron Fire Department and the City of Akron and unfairly discredit the reputation of other Akron Fire officers," the joint statement said.
