The FDNY is investigating two videos shared with the Daily News that show incidents of apparent hazing against new firefighters by veterans, including making them do pushups face-first into cake, and forcing them to hug naked men.
In one of the videos, three firefighters are seen doing pushups, repeatedly smashing their faces into cakes on the floor as an off-camera voice counts up to 20. The video was filmed Sept. 25 or Sept. 26 at Engine 38, Ladder 51 in the Bronx, according to a source.
The second video appears to show three uniformed rookie firefighters lined up against the wall of a paddleball court awkwardly shaking hands and hugging two naked men wearing only shoes. The video was also filmed either Sept. 25 or Sept. 26, the source recounted.
