Man in NYFD Uniform Seen Passed Out

I don't know if anyone saw this, but according to NY1, the city's fire department is investigating a situation involving a man, who was caught on video haven passed out on a Brooklyn stoop by a tenant trying to get into the building. This happened in the early morning hours after Saint Patrick's Day.

I don't know. This is kind of disconcerting. Think about it. New York fire fighters have high standards of conduct to fulfill. If they begin drinking and pass out when a fire occurs, we can be in trouble. I only hope the person caught is not an active firefighter. If he is, he needs to be disciplined. What he did was not good.

Maybe he had just gotten off duty?

@JenMac: The firefighters have a strict code of conduct. The Fire Chief said that if he is an active member, he will be disciplined. If he is retired, no charges will be filed. He just partied too much that's all.
