A group of FDNY firefighters are accused of setting off illegal fireworks at a Brooklyn fire station.
The pyrotechnic display was caught on video by a Crown Heights resident who was passing by Ladder 123 at around 11:30 p.m. Tuesday, the New York Post reports.The video shows firefighters at the station lighting a firework display that sparked.
“I thought it was young kids lighting it. And there are. But then I see the firefighters doing it—they should know better,” the 33-year-old resident told the Post.
As he was recording the display, one of the firefighters confronted the resident. The FDNY is investigating the incident, according to the Post.
“As public servants, I feel like they should know better than to light fireworks at 11:30 at night," the resident told the news outlet. "It’s completely brazen wantonness."
