- Share via
Fire officials in Tampa announced that five firefighters were disciplined for inviting strippers to their fire station for a nude and topless photo session.
The women, identified only as Jamie and Heather, posed with a firetruck. They were naked in some photos and wore high heels, firefighters’ pants and suspenders in others.
The firefighters were charged with neglect of duty, moral turpitude and insubordination. One of the men, a captain, was fired. The other four were suspended and will lose as much as $5,000 in pay.
