Rat pack: nude firefighters who roamed the streets




THEY were known as the Rat Pack: five renegade firefighters who threatened to burn houses down instead of save them, ran naked through the streets, drove fire trucks while drunk and trashed a whistleblower's car.


Quote from the article:

An official investigation found them responsible for a campaign of harassment and intimidation in a NSW country town and recommended disciplinary action.



Instead, the NSW Fire Brigades - already under fire for fostering a culture of ritual abuse exposed by The Sunday Telegraph - has promoted two of them to leadership roles.

The Sunday Telegraph has obtained a copy of the investigation report by Superintendent Warwick Isemonger, published last year, which details 20 complaints made against the five men whose identities were suppressed.

The NSWFB also hired Sydney firm Marlin Audit and Investigation Services as part of its inquiry.

The report reveals incidents such as getting drunk at local pubs in uniform and driving the fire truck at dangerous speeds "to see what it could do".
