Another FDNY rookie has come forward to complain he was hazed on his first day in a firehouse — and viciously bullied on many occasions afterward.
Former probationary firefighter Michael Troina, 24, was fired while his alleged tormenters at Tribeca’s Ladder 1/Engine 7 firehouse escaped punishment.
“At first I sloughed it off as ‘I’m the new guy.’ As it kept going on, it got worse,” Troina told The Post.
Troina got the ax on Dec. 21, just seven days before he would have completed probation. The FDNY insists he was canned after a “failed evaluation.”
Troina charges veteran firefighters covered his car in peanut butter, toilet paper and nails; challenged him to fight; shoved him; called him a “bitch,” “loser” and “fa—t”; put up mocking photos of him, and stomped on his bunker gear. He says he is preparing a lawsuit against the FDNY.
