Officials investigating firehouse over sexy video
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A Los Angeles firehouse is in trouble again after letting an exercise company shoot a video there showing a scantily clad woman dancing seductively with a Hula-Hoop.
The video shot at a Venice fire station was intended to promote classes at Hoopnotica. It shows a woman in shorts and heels undulating with a Hula-Hoop and in a firefighting uniform.
Fire officials say they will investigate why firefighters allowed the filming. The same station was investigated last year for letting trucks be used in a porn movie shoot.
Hoopnotica spokeswoman Lauren Brand says the company shoots similar videos in different locations every week. She says the company regrets the attention and that its employees were just having fun with local heroes.
Firefighters at the station declined to comment.

There wouldnt be any investigation if only the firehouse had invited those officials to the filming.
Gasp.... the horror of sexy women dressed in skimpy clothes... whatever. (sarcasm off)
Where's the clip of the other movie made in the Firehouse? LOL

Every fire house I have been to staff has been nice, letting people try thing outfits on go down the pole play on the truck and all.  Pictures and videos are common place and the usually will take them or be in them.  They seem even nicer to the ladies and kids.  I always just imagined it was their way of staying close to the community and breaking up some days where nothing happens.  There is nothing to see or investigate here.  I wear a lot less to go out and get the paper and mail in the morning and my neighbors just laugh at me. These men and women do a lot of things most people wouldn't and stay away from their families for weeks on end leave them alone.
Wut?
Hey, if they were "leasing out" the fire station to help cover budget cuts more power to them (not sure if that is what they were doing, but it would make a great excuse). On a serious note (sort of) - Next time cover up the numbers on the fire truck! They should have learned that after the last wrist slap they got over "Bertha Primes the Pump" or whatever the name of the adult video was...
You know, I would think officials in a place like Los Angeles would have better things to be investigating than this.
 @Zoso I agree with you but since it is a public (tax payer funded) fire house once the first tax payer complains then this is the problem and we know there are plenty of people out there that has to complain about something like this. But, I would say there has to be some kind of oversight on the uses of public infrastructure. I would not want to see any deaths attributed to a slow responding fire station due to the fact that the 'Firefighters Gone Wild" video was being shot when the alarm came in.
 @Beam_Me_Up I'm sure the fire department knows how to respond the second they get a call regardless of what they're doing.
Amazing what people get butthurt about these days. This girl has more clothes on than your average barista, and SOMEONE has to get their panties in a bunch over it. Oversensitive idiots drive me nuts.
This woman is only "scantily clad" in the Amish sense.
