An Austin, Texas, firefighter has been fired after he made a pit stop at Burger King before responding to an emergency call from a 77-year-old woman in respiratory failure.

Michael Pooler’s snack attack postponed the Austin Fire Department’s emergency response by approximately two minutes and resulted in his termination by Fire Chief Jim Evans, the Austin American-Statesman reported.

In a memo, Evans said the fire crew leader had displayed “a shocking neglect of duty” when he stopped for a bite to eat before responding to the emergency call Jan. 4.
