The Uniformed Firefighters Association is sounding the alarm over "integrity" tests from the city's Department of Investigation. And the firefighters believe some of the tests include a man leaving a bag of what looked like cocaine and a woman giving cash to firefighters to thank them for freeing her car.
The Department of Investigation denies being involved in three of the four incidents the Post mentions (only one sounds like one the DOI conducted years ago). Some of the incidents sound like something out of a movie--from the Post:
Firefighters in Queens answered a knock on their door to find two young women requesting help with their RV, sources said.The firefighters did resist the young women's overtures, causing one source to say, "What was being tested - their testosterone? It's like something out of a Bud Light commercial."The girls reportedly told firefighters they had dropped the keys to the vehicle down a sink in the rig, and needed help fishing them out.
When firefighters climbed aboard, according to sources, there were more young women waiting for them - and lots of beer.
Other firefighters suspect that the "FDNY's own integrity bureau" might have staged the incidents. All believe the scrutiny comes after reported thefts from apartments damaged in the Midtown crane collapse, and there is overall concern with firefighter conduct.

If my boss did this to me, I'd have the union on him quick. But, I'd be smashing his fat face even quciker!
Typical NYC government bullshit. It's amazing what people have around their apartments. One group of people claims a loss of $90,000 in jewelry and electronics. Why isn't the jewelry in a safe? And how many large flat screen TV's would one have in their apartment. It smells of insurance scam if you ask me.
There was a saying back in the old days of firefighting, "What we don't break, we take. That's why we wear big coats." I believe it was said in jest because of all these unreal losses people were claiming.
But getting back to the chicks in the RV. Wouldn't it have been better to tell them to come back after the tour of duty was up? The guys need to check out their hoses every so often to make sure they work when needed.
My Space.com is the ultimate "integrity test" for firefighters.
I'm not sure where you found that picture, Jen, but it's an excellent choice.
