Talk about a hot fucking date! Who hasn’t gawked at a beefy New York Fire Department hunk hanging off the back of a big red ladder truck cruising through the streets of NYC on its way to a five-alarm blaze? Thank God for the second annual New York City Firefighter Auction-A-Date, “a real life opportunity to take one of New York’s Bravest out on the town for a night of romance and adventure.”

A slew of smokin’ fire studs — maybe some from the 2010 Firefighter Hunks Annual Calendar? — will be up on the auction block at this year’s event, which goes down Thursday at Brooklyn’s Knitting Factory. “Who knows –- they might let you taste their three-alarm chili!”
