Rio Rancho explains DWI policy after two firefighter arrests
City officials say the Rio Rancho Fire Department policy on drunken driving matches industry norms.

The process follows union contracts and due process, with steps from paid leave to notice of contemplated action, hearings, and potential discipline.
