SJ Fire Engine Records Shed New Light on Video of Bikini-Clad Woman Leaving Truck and Entering Strip Club

Internal records from the San Jose Fire Department are shedding new light on a stunning video that surfaced last month showing a bikini-clad woman climb out of a fire engine and walk into the Pink Poodle, a well-known strip club in town, NBCBayArea.com reported.

The social media video immediately sparked controversy and prompted an internal investigation, the report said. The department’s union said at the time it “does not condone what was seen on video” and Mayor Sam Liccardo promised accountability if the investigation revealed misconduct, according to the report.

Summit Fire & EMS Board Selects a Design for a Silverthorne (CO) Fire Station

The Summit Fire and EMS board of directors on Tuesday chose a concept for a fire station in Silverthorne — a move that comes after months of public pressure at Silverthorne Town Council meetings, SummitDaily.com reported.

Residents on the north side of the county have expressed concerns with Summit Fire & EMS and the town of Silverthorne about not having a fire station on the north side of Interstate 70, the report said. Some residents are dealing with insurance cost increases because they live farther than five miles from the nearest fire truck. In Summit County, this includes Montezuma, parts of Eagles Nest, Three Peaks, Summit Sky Ranch, Acorn Creek and Pebble Creek subdivisions, according to the report.

Fire Chief Travis Davis presented options to the board, each with its own phases.
