An eyebrow-raising video has caused a stir in San Jose — and an investigation within its fire department, officials say.

The video, which was posted to social media, shows a scantily clad woman exiting a San Jose fire truck, closing the door, and walking into the Pink Poodle, an adult entertainment club at 328 Bascom Avenue.

“The Department has become aware of a concerning video posted on social media,” San José Fire Chief Robert Sapien Jr. wrote in a press release.

“An investigation has been initiated to determine facts surrounding the video.”

Fire department spokesperson added that if any findings of an internal investigation reveal “inappropriate behavior” of any department members, appropriate steps will be taken to address the matter.
