A viral video has emerged of a woman dressed only in a bikini and high heels climbing out of a fire engine and walking into a strip club in San Jose, California. It’s attracted plenty of online commentaries and is now an official investigation.
The video clip shows a fire truck with lights flashing and a marking that says “E4” stopped after dark in front of the club on South Bascom Avenue. After a few seconds, a door opens and a woman in a bikini emerges, turning and shutting the door before walking toward the club’s entrance.
The video was originally posted by an Instagram user whose account is private. The video was reposted by an account called “San Jose Foos”.
It was unknown whether the woman is employed by the Pink Poodle, which is described as “San Jose’s only all-nude strip club” on the company’s website.
A statement released by the city’s fire department stated:
“It is the goal of the department to serve the community with courtesy and service. As such, it takes all feedback regarding the conduct of its employees seriously… All City of San José employees are expected to adhere to the Code of Ethics Policy they have agreed to as a condition of their employment.”
It was also not known when the video was originally recorded.
San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo responded with an outraged statement.
“If the investigation concludes that this video is as bad as it looks, then heads must roll,” Liccardo said in the statement. “We cannot have a life-critical emergency rescue apparatus relegated to a frat party bus, nor tolerate any conduct that so demeans the heroic work of the rest of our SJFD team.”
San Jose Fire Chief Robert Sapien, Jr. (photo below) reported that he was launching an investigation to figure out who the stripper was and why she was inside a San Jose firetruck, to begin with.
“An investigation has been initiated to determine facts surrounding the video,” said San Jose Fire Chief Robert Sapien, Jr. “If findings of an internal investigation reveal inappropriate behavior of any Department members, appropriate steps will be taken to address the matter.”
According to AWM, people shared a plethora of comments about the video on social media, including the following:
“Every wife of San Jose Fire Department (firefighters is) calling their mans rn (right now) to ask where he’s at.”
Someone else wrote, “She was warming up on the poles at the station.” If that were true, the San Jose Fire Department would be in even more trouble than they currently are.
“Fireman had a shift on his birthday, and the boys handled it,” another person wrote.
