An investigation is under way after a naked Washington, D.C., firefighter was apparently caught on camera preparing food for a party in a firehouse.

The photo was supplied by a source who says complaints have been made by female firefighters and paramedics who were there at the time.

The D.C. Fire and EMS Department says there was a retirement celebration attended by off-duty firefighters at an engine company in July.

The source claims the photo shows a naked firefighter at the stove and that as many as three firefighters may have prepared and served food at the party naked.

The source alleges that there were female emergency medical personnel present and that no disciplinary action has been taken.

And just what is wrong with cooking in the nude???

He should be reprimanded ONLY if he was cooking Bacon. That stupid, he should be off the team.

[Dahoser]

You mean aside from grease splatters?

[refermech]

Violates the fireman penal code??

They must have expected some pretty hot chili if they already had their hoses out.

I’m a betting this is one gay firehouse. Just sayin. You know heterosexuals don’t go in for the nude collective cooking thingy that much.

You know, The District is so full of meatheads that it is sometimes impossible to gauge the impossibility of properly running the capital district.

OMG. The real miracle in DC city governemnt is that anything gets done - at all.

This Thread Does NOT Need Pictures

Are they expected to cook the chicken with the feathers ON?

[Pan_Yan]

No pictures, please.

So the fellow they interviewed said he was terminated for being AWOL and he says that's not as bad a cooking naked. Now cooking naked is stupid, I mean think of the burn you might get but sorry it is not worse than being AWOL.

I wouldn’t want my wife, daughter, or other female family members having to work in that environment. Frankly, I’m not interested in seeing some other guy’s penis openly displayed outside the showers or bathroom portion of the firehouse either.

That’s an example of very poor judgment.

[sleddogs]

Did you see what he dragged through the gravy?

[BooBoo1000]

Got to stir the pot with something.

[calico_thompson]

Dont ask. Don’t tell.
