They’re playing with fire.
Two clout-chasing models made a mockery of NYC Fire Department protocol by turning a Greenwich Village fire station into their own personal sorority house — sauntering inside with firefighters, climbing on a firetruck and shaking their booties to Lil Wayne’s “Fireman”
“Bet you didn’t know you can walk into your local fire station and ask to try on the uniform and take a tour!” one of the women, Dana Treacy, boasts in the March Facebook post about her five alarm visit — part of an alarming trend across NYC, The Post has learned.
In the video, Treacy announces, “Ladies and gentlemen, we’re reporting from New York City right now and there’s a fire,” as she and her blonde pal flaunt their dance moves and then climb onto a fire truck.
The video, made at the Sixth Avenue firehouse that is home to Ladder 5, generated 78,000 likes on the social media platform.
At least five other posts on the battalion’s Instagram page feature different women cavorting and posing at the firehouse, which is known as the “Pride of Greenwich Village” because its members were among the first to respond to the Sept. 11 terror attacks on the World Trade Center, The Post found.
Other photos taken at the firehouse show young women donning FDNY gear and hanging off firetrucks while dressed in red heels and fishnet stockings.
The activity violates the FDNY social media guidelines and “brings the department into disrepute,” one longtime FDNY member said.
“The officers will be held accountable for this as they are responsible for everything that happens in the firehouse,” the source said. “Even better, this is a battalion so multiple officers are on the hook.”
Each fire battalion contains multiple fire companies and hundreds of firefighters.
The houses and equipment are strictly off-limits to non-FDNY members and pose a major safety risk — yet there have been a rash of similar episodes in firehouses across the city, an alarming trend experts said puts the public in harm’s way and could lead to lawsuits.
The social media accounts of other fire companies show similar scenes of women dressing in FDNY garb, posing with department trucks and sliding down fire poles.
Nina Jimenez waltzed into a Tribeca firehouse in January, tried on a smoke-eaters jacket and plopped down in the cab of a firetruck in a video posted on Instagram.
“When you take a pic in front of a famous NYC fire station & they open the garage to let you in,” the 22-year-old wrote of FDNY Engine 7 on Duane Street.
In October, two glammed-up gals in evening gowns strutted into FDNY Engine 16 in Kips Bay for a 2 a.m. tour of the station.
They smiled ear-to-ear and flashed a thumbs-up in a snap featuring one of the women — in a black dress — sitting in a truck’s driver’s seat. A firefighter even held her purse as she tried on gear.
“POV the friends who are always on a side quest end up touring a firehouse at 2 a.m,” user @fancy.ab captioned the post with Hillary Duff’s “What Dreams Are Made Of” playing in the background.
Another video, apparently taken at Engine 4 in Lower Manhattan, shows a group of friends excitedly running around the station after meeting brazen off-duty firemen at a bar.
And in a TikTok post, another young woman posted a video of herself sliding down a firehouse’s pole.
“Free will is showing up to a firehouse and asking to please get a tour,” user demonmodegirl wrote in December 2024.
Liability is a serious issue with allowing non-members into the firehouse, the source said.
“They can get hurt and sue the city,” he said.
“Someone slides down the firepole or falls out of the engine or ladder and the taxpayers write the check.”
He also pointed out that the gear the women are trying on are “filled with cancer causing chemicals from fires.”
“Firefighters are banned from taking their gear past the apparatus floor,” he said.
“POV: you meet off duty firefighters at the bar & they bring you to the firehouse,” poster Abby Farrell captioned the February TikTok showing her and her friends climbing into a firetruck.
The women who posted the video from the Village firehouse were surprised to learn the firefighters could be in trouble.
Hailey Carlson told The Post she and her friend were walking by and casually asked if they could have a tour, “and they were very welcoming and kind, walked us in,” she said.
“I guess where we crossed the line is when we got on the firetruck,” the 31-year-old, who is the blonde in the video, told The Post
She claims she didn’t know that was against the rules.
“We obviously would have never posted anything, had we known that any of that was not allowed,” she insisted. “But we had no idea.”
“I don’t think they knew that either,” she said of the firemen.
The two decided to post the video days later as they shared a few glasses of wine.
“It was very impromptu,” Treacy, 32, said. “We were sipping on a glass of wine and editing it and playing Lil’ Wayne…Very lighthearted.”
The two got a call from their modeling agency, Muse Models NYC, which was looking into the video they posted, Treacy said. The agency didn’t return a call seeking comment.
“We have so much respect for what they do and who they are,” she said. “We’d never walk in there and try to make them look stupid or ignorant or make fun of them in any way.”
None of the firefighters would comment Thursday about the video.
Carlson thought the visits were normal.
Last year, a fire officer was suspended without pay for giving two young women a ride on a fire truck. It was unclear what Fire Comissioner Lillian Bonsignore would do about the new episode.
The department does sanctioned events with visitors all the time, another veteran FDNY officer pointed out — but members have to be careful when bringing in outsiders on their own.
“It always runs into a sticky situation if people are in the house that shouldn’t be, but again we’re human beings,” he said.
“When it comes to young guys putting their jackets on pretty females. It’s going to happen. Men are going to be men. I get what they’re doing. But as somebody who recognizes the risk I would tell everyone you gotta tread lightly.”
“The incident in question is under investigation,” a FDNY spokeswoman said in a statement regarding the Ladder 5 video.
The policy violation was that the women recorded inside the firehouse without prior approval from the Fire Commissioner, a source said. The FDNY could also decide to investigate the other videos.
The first source said the two women at the Greenwhich Village firehouse got the firefighters in trouble whether they intended to or not.
“The screenshots let you see the names of the firefighters who let [the women] wear their gear,” the source said.
“These FDNY fire officers don’t know it yet, but the the next big fire they will go to is the one where their careers are burning down.”
