MacDougall was apparently upstairs in the hotel while his partner was in a paramedic van when the stabbing occurred.
A police source says the two men made inconsistent statements about the incident. Another source says MacDougall may have told his partner not to tell his wife or his girlfriend about the attack.
Both firefighters are on paid leave.
