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.

No hula-hoops were harmed in the making of this video. So what's the problem?
People are too uptight, that's not seductive at all. Besides that chick's too skinny, not even attractive any way.
"Fire officials say they will investigate why firefighters allowed the filming"

Cuz she's hot and they couldn't say no?
...and they were trying to put out her fire with the wrong hoses???????

How do you get put on the list? I have a company Christmas party to plan.
lemme guess, part of the promotion 'package'?
Only ones who would complain about this is Hairy legged butch lesbians. I am a man, and this girl is feeding my need for sexiness....you got a problem with that, I got a one eyed monster you can suck on.

Â
Hey!!! Â I resemble that comment....and I'm not complaining!! Â This shows how much you really know about Lesbians, but then again you're just a sillymunkey flinging poo. Â I'm all for feeding people's sexiness, but as for your "one-eyed monster", I'd keep him under cover. Â I know a dark cave where he could hide out....his name is Ben...Ben Dover. Â Don't forget to bring your raincoat!!
"a woman in shorts and heels undulating"
Â
OMG....UNDULATING!!!!!!!
Â
What is this, the 50s?
@deejm2112 Undulating sounds like some of the large people walking around walmart. I prefer gyrating
 @deejm2112 Undulating? How about some serious writhing.
Â
There it is again, Scantly Clad. Come on, find a new word that is more appropriate, She has on more clothes than half the girls at my daughters high school have on at any time of the year. No big deal, just friendly hose draggers sharing their pole.
I don't get what the big "hoop"la is all about.
Scantly clad??? Â She's in shorts and a body-suit!! Â
Â
As a woman, there are many more things that I find more disturbing and degrading than this; like the posters and calendars of naked/almost naked women that hang in Auto Detail and Repair shops or on some Construction sites. Â
Why is it okay for them to advertise at other types of job sites but not here. Â It's not like the Firefighters were making porn videos and dodging their responsibilities. Â I don't think this could even be considered soft porn. Â Whoever is wasting time and money to investigate this needs to get over themselves and put that money towards something more productive. Â To make any more of this than what it really is is way more offensive to women and firefighters (whom could also be women) than the making of this video.
Â
Move on!!
I need to investigate also.
Leave the fire fighters alone. It isn't like they skipped a call so they could watch her prance around.
who cares!!!!
Just watched the video. While the woman in the video was very cute, I didn't see anyone that was scantily clad. What's the uproar about this? She was wearing shorts and a t-shirt. The way the headlines read it was almost like she stripped down to pasties and a g-string. What's the big deal?
Stop cutting their funding and they won't need to do this.
Â
(did I use the correct "their" there?)
 @WendyTeagarden Yes, you used the correct version. Kudos! :)
@scoreboard ...see below ....
Grammar lessons all around! :~)
So where is the scantily clad woman? Is the author Amish?
Now that's a four alarm fire !
"...showing a scantily clad woman...", thats normal summer dress at the local Walmart store. Â
 @RandyH Indeed!!  At my local Walmart stores this would be considered well dressed and maybe even overdressed!!  LOL!!  I am much more offended walking through Walmart and seeing ass-crack, camel toe, and more Bush than once occupied our Whitehouse than I am about the making of this video.  These investigators need to go shut down some Walmarts...then they'll be making a positive impact on not only society but also on small businesses.
What is she... like 12?
 @Peregrine Seriously?  Why?  Would you like that?
Â
These guys risk their lives for your property during the fire season...how's about giving 'em a little break and show your appreciation for their willingness to sacrifice their lives by letting them have a little fun. Besides, playing hoops is good exercise!
 @str1ngb3nd3r There also union employees making high wages for what they do, as they don't do it as volunteers, there not real hero's, just like the police.
 @RandyH  @str1ngb3nd3rÂ
Â
Seven-11 clerks face greater danger than a police officer just to bring you Funions after 10:00 but nobody gives them a pension or living wage.
 @RandyH  @str1ngb3nd3r They're not real hero's? That's funny. High wages? Even more of a joke! They don't do it as volunteer's? Where do you get your information from? I grew up in a Firefighter family. My father volunteered for years before he ever became paid (when I say years I mean like 15) and is now a chief. I promise you this "high wages" is so funny. Be respectful, hope your house doesn't catch fire, and your not stuck inside. Then who would be your hero? You're a joke!
 @PortlandMom101  @RandyH  @str1ngb3nd3rÂ
Â
even "volunteer" firemen get paid.
@RandyH .....time to learn the difference between there and their !
 @Rob C 503 and "they're"
@kramr  just for got to add that one Kramer. They're just too many !!!! LOL
@Rob C 503  Oh the irony  LOL
time to practice what you preach..... its they're  :)
